To score a touchdown by running the ball into the end zone, it doesn't matter where the player's feet are. The only thing that matters is where the ball is. The moment the ball in the player's hand crosses the goal or touches one of the pylons, it's an automatic touchdown immediately.
Unless their feet are out of bounds. Once you touch the ground out of bounds, the ball is dead wherever it is. As long as you are in the air, it's still a live ball.
@@esquire3230 Fair point there. Thanks for including that part.
it does matter where the feet are, they must remain "in-bounds" (excluding in the air) the entire time as the ball crosses the plane. the player is not out of bounds until a part of his body touches outside of the playing field. dont want to cause confusion. just clarifying.
Remember, the end zone theoretically extends beyond the sidelines so if a player is airborne and looks out of bounds but the ball crossesthe goal line, is a touchdown.
One other point to make is that if the ball goes out of bounds in the air before breaking the plane or hitting the pylon, the ball's dead where it went out of bounds.
You have no idea how massively impressive at the Interception at 1:30 is. The Lions receiver Calvin "Megatron" Johnson is 6 foot 5 inches tall. The defender who picked him off was 5 foot 9 inches tall Brent Grimes!
Wow! That’s very impressive, thanks for the info!
Optimus grimes vs Megatron (:
Grimey was/is a sick gifted athlete
@@yesiam4610 and Johnson in my biased option as a lions fan is easily top 10 all time and arguably top 5, great seeing that level competition line up on each other

-Limp Bizkit 3 Dollar Bill Ya'll: Intro
One of the coolest things about football is YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCORE, TO MAKE IT EXCITING. Great game.
It really is exciting! We are enjoying getting to know all about it!
Note: the pylons also have cameras in them. Useful for official review to determine if a player scored, etc.
And as of 2020, the balls are microchipped with the pylons containing sensors. If the ball crosses the white line, the sensors go off and officials know.
4:18 is nicknamed "The Beastquake". In the NFL there are 8 divisions, if a team has the best record in their division they automatically qualify for the playoffs. There's also 4 wild card teams, teams with the best records who didn't win their division. Seattle, in blue, had a 7-9 record but their division was the worst in football so they qualified for the playoffs and hosted the defending champion Saints, who were 11-5 in the regular season. Basically no one gave Seattle a shot of winning but they were an up and coming team known for a loud stadium, dubbed "The 12th man" because they were so loud it was like having an extra man on the field. Marshawn Lynch's, nicknamed "Beast Mode", run practically sealed their victory and the fan's cheering was so loud that it registered on nearby seismographs. This Seattle team would lose in the playoffs but the same core ended up making multiple Super Bowls a winning one. Definitely one of the most legendary plays of the 21st century.
If you lead your body with a foot or knee it’s a penalty. What you were seeing was a player dive for the end zone, a defender going for a tackle and hitting their head on the runners knee. There is a clip of a ball runner trying to hurdle a defender and lead his body with his foot and kicked the defender in mid air using the power of his leg to shove him to the ground. Was a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct I believe.
Tripping is also illegal
Still don't know why AB didn't just run around him 😂 he was gone
Billy Sims did that in the 1980s and did not get flagged. I believe it is no. 98 on the NFL top 100 best plays of all time.
@@poolplayergus probably the play responsible for it being illegal
@@felixlara2945except that there was no flag on the play. It wouldn't be acceptable these days for sure.
You didn't even get the full video of DK Metcalf chasing down Budda Baker, he was about 20 yards out of the play, couple that with DK being 6'4 and about 240 lbs, and the fact that a man that large runs that fast is mind blowing.
DK Metcalf topped out at 22.64 mph on that run, or 36.44 kph. CRAZY fast
It's even crazier when put into perspective. Here's a video of him during the Olympic trials running a 10.36 100m. That is insane given his size and the fact he's not a full time track and field guy. czcams.com/video/_svYW95oMjo/video.html&ab_channel=WorldAthletics
@@michaelmitchell7734 And Baker was running 21.27 MPH during that play. DK traveled 114 yards to catch Budda. As a Cardinals fan, it was an intense, roller coaster, type play. Pick, return, and then not so much. But as a football and Cardinals fan. Wow, what a play!
And the fact that he stopped them from scoring a touchdown and that next possession for the cards they only got a field goal from it. HUGE PLAY !!
Only catch from behind that was more impressive imo was Ben Watson catching Champ Bailey from behind.
I think sometimes the announcers can confuse you on some of these, especially when some of the calls are overturned after review (like VAR). Like at 9:57 Don’t pay attention to “Out of bounds inside the 1.” That was the announcers thinking he had gone out of bounds. It was later ruled a touchdown after review because at some point, while in mid air, the ball crossed over the goal line.
Thank you Drew!
That still messes with regular NFL Fans,. What the play by play guys call vs what actually happened. It's a fast game and you can't rely on what the announcers say as gospel. You need to wait for the refs to check in.
Hey guys, the tip of the ball only needs to break the invisible plane of the end zone, which is marked by the corner pylons when carrying the ball in for a touchdown.
When thrown into the end zone with a pass, the ball needs to be secured, and two points of contact on the ground within the end zone for a touchdown to be successful. Keep doing what You do!
Thanks Joe, means a lot!
Invisible plane? The white line is the plane buddy
@@connorpick the white line is the bottom of the plane. The plane is an invisible wall. Hope that helps
@@connorpick A plane is a 2 axis coordinate system, in this circumstance its base is the white line you're speaking of which extends to the heavens, making it like a giant super thin piece of paper in front of the endzone, but then imagine its invisible.
To add some anti-clarity you only need two points of contact for feet, hands, and head; a single knee, hip, or elbow will will also do. So if a player is leaping and spinning and catches a ball, and his left knee comes down first in the endzone, then his right foot comes down second and touches out of bounds that would still be a touchdown. If a player were to secure the ball in the air, and come down with one hand in the endzone and then a foot touches out next that would not be a touchdown.
4:05 If a player with the ball is tackled in the end zone, it's called a 'Safety" and the opposing team is awarded 2 points.
Except on a kick return, then it's the same as a touchback.
@@Rammstein0963. Not if the player does not down the ball. The ball is live so a player who catches of picks up the ball in the end zone and does not down the ball, but attempts to run the ball out and is tackled in the end zone its a safety.
Often when a team is behind late in the game after a score they will do something called an onside kick. If the kick the ball of the kicking team can recove and get the ball if it goes at least 10 yards before they make contact.
By the way in American football its not called a pitch but rather a field. I understand what your are referring to, but some USA people might not.
When heading towards the goal line in the corners (near the pylons), all the player has to do break the plane of the goal line inside of/on the pylon with the ball, even if they don't touch the ground (think of the view from directly above). So the play at 7:53 was ruled a touchdown. 🙂Also, when watching any close plays along the goal line, the ball just needs to touch the line, not go over it.
Passes directly into the end zone are a bit different.
Perfectly explained. Scoring is just about crossing the plane. To add to this - it is a completed catch that requires full control of the ball and both feet touching green in bounds.
Explaining catches may require more words but can be understood. Putting it in practice, however, is why we want to pie the faces of officials. lol
The Dallas Cowboys Marion Barber highlight was the fact that he saved a safety and turned a botched play into a plus.
American Football has so many rules that it really just needs you to watch to understand lol. It's hard to explain without context.
Yes, so if he would've kicked the ball there. That's considered a punt, which gives possession to the other team.
@@jeffcastillo9063 but you also have to line up in a specific punt formation and inform the referee that you intend to punt. You can't just decide to punt on any random play.
@@michaelmitchell7734 Nope. You can surprise punt out of any formation you like. It's just a terrible idea most of the time.
Fun fact: The play at @4:18 was run by a player called Marshawn Lynch whose nickname is “Beast Mode” and on the play the crowd got so insanely loud that they actually cause a mini earth quake. That’s why the run is now known as the “Beast Quake”
The Running back Stiff arm is a classic move, perfectly legal, there's been hour long documentaries just exploring the Stiff Arm in American football.
The catch at 11:50 is an absolute classic from the 70s. Lynn Swann set the bar for all the amazing catches we see from today's athletes.
It was a good catch then but if you go to any Texas high school game those catches are white normal
As stated by a few others, only the ball has to break the plain of the end-zone. This is why the orange pylon is at the front corners of the end0zone. If the ball touches any part of the pilon before the going out of bounds then it is a touchdown. The pilon stands inside the "plain" of the end-zone so if touched by the ball then the ball has to be in for a touchdown.
To my understanding, as long as the player is in bounds, the ball can cross the plane of the end zone even outside of the pilons. The "Plain" of the end zone extends around the world,
@12:56 a foul sometimes happens away from the ball carrier. When you hear that there's a "flag on the play" at the end of a touchdown run or that "no signal has been given" it usually means that a different player committed a foul before the end of the play. It's usually due to an interference action like holding a receiver and preventing him from attempting to catch the ball.
You can't intentionally kick or knee someone (would be called "unecessary roughness"), but incidental contact is okay. Also, for touchdowns, only the ball has to "break the plane" of the goaline, but it has to be inbounds. That's why you see guys aim for the pylon, if you hit that, it's automatically rule inbounds and across the goalline. Side note: you don't have to get the whole ball across, even if just the tip crosses it's a touchdown.
5:20. Fellas, i know it's easy to miss, but the significance of this (and why there is slow motion) was the way Zay Jones leveraged his entire body into a standing position with only the tips of his shoes / toes. It's like an unseen force grabbed him by the jersey and gave him a momentary lift. Give it another look.
If you're getting interested in NFL and thinking about maybe watching some games, it would help you a lot to watch some things like "play breakdowns". Those are where a player, coach or whatever, uses video of the play and graphics to explain what was intended to happen in a play and what actually happened (not always the same thing lol).
Also, in NFL there are tactics (the movements, position shifts and schemes of the offense and defense during a play) and strategy (attempting to manipulate the other team over time by running various types of plays to influence what they (the other team) does and how it reacts.
Both the above are true in all team sports, but in NFL it goes deep and gets complex.
The out of bounds at the 1 means they came very close to a touchdown. If that was a 4th down play (last play) before you turn over the ball to the other team then the other team gets the stop and the ball at the 1 yard line. Now if the team made a first down on the play they have 4 opportunities to score from the 1 yard line which they call 1st and goal. Meaning they are inside the 10 yard line meaning no more first downs can happen without scoring or a defensive penalty.
the one that was "later ruled a TD" was initially ruled not a TD as he was out of bounds ("inside the 1" means "within a yard of the goal line") but was overturned on review -- they decided he did, in fact, get the ball across the goal line before going out of bounds.
In the NFL, when the ball under "full control" of a player crosses the goal line (side markers included) it is a touchdown.
Game situations matter too. There’s one by Mike Vick that was incredible because it was 4th and 15. To scramble around and get 15 yards on 4th down is unheard of (for normal players).
Also some of these plays were done in ridiculous moments. Like last year Justin Jefferson caught a ridiculous ball on 4th down (the last down to get it past the first down marker). Which made it even more impressive
Mike Vick, who was very fast, was a quarterback who was know for his running abilities. Usually QB are not good runners. When A Quarterback has an amazing run it is not expected of them. Such as the run by Steve Young at 13:00. QB's usually do not even run with the ball, except more and more they are using QB that are athletic and can gain yards on the ground. They are known as duel threats. Some QB are very good scramblers, who elude tacklers by buying more time so that their receivers can get open for a pass. Different players have different body types and skills. You guys might want to investigate the different positions and what skills the are expected to have.
It's a bit more complicated but basically if any part of the ball breaks the plane of the goal line while in possession of player or touches the orange pylon its a touchdown. A receiver catching the ball in the end zone must establish possession and get 2 feet down in end zone for touchdown. Check out NFL best toe touch catches I believe it is... have fun
Thank you George! This is really helpful!
Spot of the ball is what matters. The orange pylon represents the edge of the goal. You can hold the ball out and cross the plain with just the tip and get a touchdown.
Two ways to score a touchdown. 1. If a player holding the ball steps in the endzone (1 foot running, 2 feet if receiving a pass in the end zone). 2. If the ball crosses the plane of the endzone in posession of a player. For example 2 the player does not have to physically step in the end zone.
As long as the ball carrier is established in bounds prior to making a move for the goal and the tip of the ball breaks the plain of the end zone, meaning the white paint on the touchdown, it's considered a touchdown.
The diving, sliding, jumping is considered to be the ball carrier giving themselves up or making themselves vulnerable. The only exception is if they try to hurdle a player and like end up putting a cleat to their face or something like that. But the defender hitting their legs/knees is considered a legal tackle and is actually more dangerous to the person with the ball
Love these reacts. 🍻
The kicks/knees to the head are OK as long as they are incidental. If you look up, "Antonio Brown kicks Spencer Lanning" you can see an example of an illegal kick. I always enjoy seeing people learning to enjoy American Football. Keep it up!
Lol love all of these. Probably needed a few more Calvin Johnson catches but still fun to watch!
Thanks for watching. We’ve got a lot of American Football videos in a playlist you can view here -

Loved watching you guys react to American Pro Football. Watching your reactions gave my a sense of pride to recognize what great athletes our country truly enjoy. Go Canes
There are so many plays that are more athletic than on this list. Some good plays here, but mediocre.
As for your questions about knees and feet being illegal or not. Yes if done intentionally, it is illegal and could get you ejected from the game. However, they mostly take into account the hyper aggressive competitiveness these guys live with. If you are trying to be airborne and you accidentally kick a guy in the helmet, they figure that's an accident, if no injury on the play, let em play ball.
As for being airborne over the goal line and landing out of bounds. There is a theoretical philosophy of the game they go by and that is; when any part of the ball crosses that line, the instant it does, it is a touchdown and where that player lands is completely incidental. The play is over the split second the ball crosses the line and the player is not down before it does.
If so much as the tip of your toe touches the out of bounds line, before the ball crosses the goal line, you are out and the play is dead.
Also for the interception in the End Zone, it would NOT still count as a Touchdown for the other team if the player intercepting the ball drops it in their End Zone. Once the other player caught it and has possession it automatically becomes their ball unless a penalty was called on the play and they’re forced to replay the down.
8:29 Absolutely a touchdown. The ball only has to cross the FRONT of the endzone line for a touchdown. If it does and then you get hit out airborne, you still score.
Great reaction video guys. Really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you 😊
Everyone is saying “when the ball crosses/breaks the plane”. This is true but to people who do not know the rules and terminology it’s worth clarifying that if ANY part of the ball reaches the invisible vertical wall at the white goal-line it is a touchdown as long as the ball carrier is not deemed to be down prior. (In other words, “on the line” counts as it would in tennis)
So enjoyable... Thank you!
You’re welcome!
11:56 There are sometimes dust-ups and a few actual fights, but far fewer than you'd think. In a sport where you get to smash in to your opponent with all of your strength literally every play sorta let's all aggression stay within the confines of the rules. Usually.
@3:07 "how did he catch that" That's Randy Moss. He changed football when he came into the league
About 20 years ago the orange pylons marked the outside of the endzone. Then they moved them to mark the inside corners of the endzone. Since then a lot of guys have scored by diving at the pylon.
Hey guys great video! some clarification if anyone hasnt made it yet, a play is considered dead when either A) the ball hits the ground (unless its a fumble), B) when a ball carrier's knee hits the ground, or C) when the ball or ball carrier goes out of bounds. so if a player dives in for a touchdown, and is knocked mid-air out at the 1 yard line, the ball is considered dead at the 1.
Love the content gents! Cheers from Texas
Appreciate it!
Shoulder pads, knees pads, fancy helmets, etc. Yes, hard blows are allowed but to a degree. It's a big part of what makes the game fun to watch.
Q&A!
Head over to the community tab and check out the Q&A post where you can leave questions and get to know us a little more!
Think of the endzone as a rectangular box. If the ball breaks the plane of the box, it is a touchdown. If the ball is caught and both feet of the player touch the ground inside the box, it is a touchdown.
Also think of the field as another box, if the ball is caught and both feet land inside the box, it is considered a reception or completion and the ball is move down the field to where the feet landed.
Inside the one, means that the play was stopped between the one-yard line and the goal line. So, there is no point given since the ball has not broken the plane of the goal line. If play was not the fourth down. "A down being an attempt to move the ball down field", the game continues from the one-yard line. If it was the fourth down, then the other team takes possession of the ball from that point.
The orange foam pylon is at the corners of the box of the end zone. So, if you hit the pylon, you broke the plane of the endzone box which is a field goal.
Remember that the camera angles that the TV broadcasts views are not the same angles that the referees can see, the line judge and the side judge, they position themselves so they are in line with the sidelines and the line of scrimmage so they can see exactly if the ball passes that point or goes out of bounds at any point
Knees and kicks are incidental acts. There is s tripping personal foul and you are not allowed to kick at a tackler, it has happened.
The only time your foot placement really comes into play is when you’re catching a ball that is out of bounds to make it count your feet have to be inbounds. And you can’t be juggling the ball you have to have complete control of the ball at the time your feet are down. If you don’t have complete control of the ball when your feet go out of bounds then the pass is incomplete
fun fact. the quarterback spinmove where the announcer says, "HE IS HOUDINI" at 3:50 , is the same high school QB who made the nasty juke you guys liked in the nasty juke video where you guys said he was def smiling
3:58 the significance of this play is the running back avoided a “safety” which is when u get tackled in your own end zone which results in the other team getting 2 points and u have to punt the ball to the other team
Fun fact on that Mike Vick OT touchdown run. The line was Atlanta -4. Usually, a game that goes to OT will be decided by a field goal. I bet Atlanta. I wasn't expecting to win that bet. But Michael Vick is Superman and single-handedly covered for me.
Best athletes in the world. Huge, Strong, quick and with sprinter speed --and massive courage given the force of the collisions.
I love that we got a few classic "Hail Marys" in this.
10:12 "Later ruled a TD" The original ruling would have been that the ball went out of bounds in the air before it went into the end zone. Then after examining the replays, the refs would have reversed that ruling, determining that the ball did not in fact go out of bounds in the air prior to breaking the plane of the end zone.
Hope this helps clear a few things up.
1.Out inside the 1: means the runner went out of bounds within the 1 yard line. In that clip he was tackled or pushed out. He did not make it to endzone and he did not reach the ball pylon. So the ball will be at that spot.
2.If running with the ball, the only thing that has to cross the white endzone line to score a touch down is the ball. The orange pylon is there on the endzone line so the play can dive to hit it is they are in the air but out of bounds.
3.if you making a catch in the endzone, then you have to have both feet in bounds to count as a catch.
4.there are a few Helmet penalties. You cant grab the face mask, no helmet to helmet tackles. You cant purposely kick someone in the helmet. but accidentally in the play moments like these are not called as a penalty.
Back in the day they said the goal line “extended all the way around the world.” Which means that so long as no part of your body, or the ball, touch out of bounds before the ball crosses the line, it’s a TD; and the goal line extended out of bounds.
Great channel guys. As you continue to watch the games you will see there is some nuance in the rules. The Washington redskins player was down inside the one yard line because he had the ball in his hand closest to the out of bounce area, if he had it in his other hand and crossed the end zone line it would have been a TD. Also, you asked about the kicking to the head area. Since those players were airborne it would be considered incidental and not intentional kicking. Intentionally kicking is a penalty. There is at least a few NFL highlights in horrible weather that you both might like, we play in all weather rain, fog, snow, etc. I love those games. Keep up the great work!!
They left off probably the greatest athletic play...Vick making two defensive players tackle each other. So awesome
11:47 it's good to know that when a player has caught the ball the play is still going even if they are on the ground until the opposing team has contacted the player. So if you fall after a catch but nobody touched you after gaining possession, you can get back up and keep running.
But in college football, once you are down the play is over? Correct?
Thanks for your comment!
@@DNReacts I don't follow college as closely but I think that's right. Another difference with college is you only need one foot in bounds for a catch, in the NFL both feet need to touch in bounds
@@DNReacts That is correct, in college football, if your knee touches the ground even though the opposing team didn't touch you, you are down.
More American football! I love watching the contrast between sports you watch and seeing the reactions to the sport I have watched for almost 3 decades now. It's worth it if you love sports in general.
We have more on the channel and so much more to come! It’s great to experience different sports, especially ones you know nothing about. We are enjoying the journey. Glad you’re liking the content!
I love watching other nations react to the NFL. i’d also like to see reactions to lacrosse hits or highlights
i love that dolphins interception got no reaction lmao, someone needs to through a football at these guys for them to understand how insane those catches are
Thanks lads. Love your reactions. I would suggest the best all time game winning plays. If the clock hits zero the game isn't over until a player is downed, ran out of bounds, or changes possession. Cheers!
Thank you Rylan!
For that Colts receiving TD in the beginning with Chris Ballard the RB, Remember, To score a TD, the football, actually only any part of the football I should say, has to cross the plane of the endzone itself, meaning imagine a 3D zone extending infinitely in all 3 Dimensions, so when he jumped and was forced out of bounds, the ball was still in play since we was airborn and he extended the ball into the 3D endzone plane for the TD, still recommend ya watch Otto Graham too
I’m sorry the part where they said “ he could’ve just kicked it there no?” About the Marion barber clip killed me 😂😂
😂😂 Think this was our 3rd American Football video. We’ve had the context and understand now 😅
On scoring a touchdown: If the ball carrier is in the field of play, they need only possess the ball and break the plane of the end zone, which is why they often aim for the pylon, as touching it with the ball guarantees a TD. If a receiver is attempting to catch a touchdown, they must complete the catch (maintain possession with no loss of control) while getting one of the following down in bounds: 2 feet, one knee, or equivalent.
One thing you guys have seen in many of the Barry Sanders plays is something that's illegal now- called a "horse collar" tackle. It's when the tackler wraps his hand into a guy's jersey at the back of his neck to take him down from behind. If those had been a penalty in his day, Sanders would have had even more incredible stats.
Guys love the videos, yall need to watch NFL combine highlights.
Thank you! We’ve added it to the list 😀
Love the comments teaching these lads the rules and not being a dick. Football needs to be taught around the world, it’s like therapy.
Almost everyone has been amazing. It’s good to see 😊
you guys actually have a better idea of what’s going on better than most europeans i’ve seen so respect
Appreciate that Jimmy!
BEAST MODE!!!!!!!!
The play at 3:53 is impressive because if you get tackled in the end zone it is two points for the other team and a loss of possession. You are also not allowed to punt the ball away when you are about to get tackled
The endzone continues upward so as long as you, as a runner, possess the ball and you “break the plane” of the endzone, it is a touchdown. If you go out at the 1 or inside the 1, the ball is at placed at that spot.
On pass plays, the player has to get both feet down with possession of the ball but that’s no different than a catch at the 15 yard line or the 50 yard line. To be a catch, you need to get both feet down in bounds with possession. Some people really struggle with the fact that a runner can hop through the corner of the endzone and it be a TD, whereas a receiver of a pass needs to get both feet down.
Understand as well, these guys are all some of the most athletic people in the world. Some of the things they do against athletes of the same caliber are mind blowing.

Love the content
@10:08 in this instance, out of bounds at the one means, a reset of downs and its first and goal at the one. ( they have 4 downs to get in.) Its a reset of downs because the play exceeded the 10 yards needed to move the "sticks" they are the marker poles the sideline judges move to show the position of the ball and the distance to the first down mark.
A couple of real nice blokes. Greeting from Seattle in the USA. Really love this channel and excited to see your journey to learn American football. Its a great sport. You guys should really check out the draft combine where illegible college players are put through a weeklong series of test of their physical and mental abilities in front of NFL scouts who are looking for the best talent coming out of the college ranks. It features speed and agility test along with strength and endurance test. The measure a players vertical leaping ability, hand size and IQ. Only the best college athletes are invited. Literally the top 1%. And not all of them are drafted into the NFL.
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot! Thank you for the recommendation! We will add that to the list. The tests sounds brutal. Looking forward to seeing that one!
@@DNReacts40 yard sprints are the top thing to watch in the draft. You could make a reaction on that alone. All the other stuff is kinda boring and monotonous.
Regarding your questions about kicks to the head and so on:
Intentionally kicking or tripping someone is a penalty (personal foul) and it's pretty easy to tell when someone does it on purpose. But if you hurdle or flip over someone and you accidentally kick them in the head or elsewhere, there's no foul. I can recall only one instance when a runner jumped up in the air to avoid one tackler and appeared to kick another defender straight into the chest kung fu style on his way down, but no flag was thrown because it wasn't obvious that the move was intentional. So there you go.
I want to be there to give context to some of these and answer questions lol great video! here are a couple of rules.
For it to be a catch you need to have possession of the ball and get two feet down in bounds.
A touchdown is any time the ball breaks the plain or the white line its a touchdown even if you are in the air
Kicking and kneeing in the head is illegal if its intentional. Incidental contact could be called if its egregious
Theres a difference between a “catch” in the end zone and a “run” into the end zone if that makes sense. For the catch to count when the receiver catches the ball he has to have possession of the ball and TWO feet inbounds. Like the other comments say a run doesn’t matter where your feet or anything else is because you already have possession of the ball running. So you can dive out of bounds but as long as they reach the football across the white line or pylons it’s a touchdown.
The play is over if the ball carrier is touched down (not a touchdown) basically meaning if they are touched while down or if the contact with a defender causes them to fall (being pushed) and falling. If you go to the ground but are not touched you can get back up.
If it's an intentional kick to the head or any body part it would be a penalty. If there is contact made that unintentional and caused from making a play it's not usually called. So like when a player is clearly trying to jump over someone and that someone stands up to try to make the hit the contact made is just considered part of the play. Another reason they have the helmets and pads
"He could have just kicked that" lmaoo this is too good, id be saying the same dumb stuff watching rugby

All you need to is there is a difference between what that the Announcers or play by play callers say vs what the officials actual rule on the field,. They are trying to call extremely fast action in real time. Usually, after the play the refs explain what actually happened and what is legit. But the game is so fast it often takes a replay to see what really happened, But in general the knees and hits to the head during a play are legal. Unless they are are blatantly intentional.

If you ever wanna visit the U.S., I can host you in Milwaukee, Wisconsin... (which is about a 90 minute drive north of Chicago) it's still central in the U.S. tho... you can get to New York, Los Angeles, and Florida in a 4 hour flight or less.
@@goatitisful I live in the US????
From pylon to pylon there is an invisible wall extending infinitely upward. Once the ball touches that wall, touchdown. "Inside the 1" is when the player goes out of bounds just before getting to that wall. 1 being 1 yard from the invisible wall. Intentional kicks or knees are not allowed, but if you jump and someone runs into your knee that is fair game.
Flying knees and karate kicks would be a great addition to the NFL.
How is David Tyree's helmet catch from Superbowl XLII not on that video?
But anyway, in order to score a touchdown, the football has to cross the plane of the endzone-- so basically it has to cross the front of the white line. The pylon is more of a visual marker, so you knock that over with the ball and the refs know it's a touchdown for sure.
The white line that spans across the whole touchdown is essentially all you need to get too. Even if the very tip of the football crosses that white line it’s a touchdown. The pylons serve as a sort of marker for where that white line is at. So when a player dives in air, they reach for that pylon to show the refs they got the football across the touchdown. It’s called “breaking the plane”
In America, in most cases the best youth athletes may play soccer when they are younger but as they get older they tend to choose football, basketball, or baseball over soccer due to far better college scholarship options and higher paying domestic professional careers. This is why our men's national soccer team historically hasn't been able to compete with most European teams.
so with the touch downs, the player must establish possession first then if any part of the ball enters the endzone its a score. so if the ball is thrown in to the endzone the receiver must touch at least one foot in bounds to establish possession. running it in, just needs to get any part of the ball in because the player already has possession.
What also gives contest is what position the player who makes the play plays. For example a good run by a running back might be expected, but the same play by a quarter back would be amazing.
I noticed you guys also have been watching collage football. One rule difference is that while in the NFL two feet have to be inbounds to make it a legal catch, in collage ball it only requires one foot in bounds.
9:25 almost all contact is allowed. There are specific things that aren't, like hands inside the helmet, grabbing the helmet, hitting your helmet on another player's helmet, tripping, cleats up, and grabbing someone's collar to tackle them. Obviously intentional punches, kicks, or fighting are fouls too. I may have missed a couple illegal moves, but I have never seen a foul called when someone tries to hurdle another player.
7:56 great midair bank shot
The play at 7:50 was a touchdown he was still inbounds and it was in overtime so it was an immediate game winner
As to your question about scoring a touchdown when the player is in the air the thing to look at is where the ball is. If the player went airborne while still in bounds then the thing that determines if it is a touchdown or not is where the ball is. They have what is called the goal line plane. This extends from pylon to pylon (including the pylon) and goes straight up. If any part of the ball crosses this plane and the player is not out of bounds or wasn't out of bounds before going airborne then it is a touchdown. If the ball does not break any part of the plane and the player is airborne then the ball is placed where it crossed the out of bounds line.
For people who don't know American Football, and have questions about the first play, as long as the ball gets to the line of the endzone with someone securely holding it, its a score.
When a player is in the field of play but not in the endzone the ball needs to cross the threshold (white line) of the endzone to score a touchdown. The player can be in the air when the threshold is crossed to score.
The orange pylon is the physical representation of the in/out of bounds.
Touching the side of the orange pylon closest to the middle of the endzone is considered in bounds...which is why players will try to aim for the pylon when going out of bound while trying to score.
If a player is already in the endzone, for a player to score a touchdown: the player must have positive control of the ball, and both feet must be complete down inside the endzone.
13:58 "out of bounds inside the 1" isn't a special phrase. It just means he went out of bounds before the touchdown and "inside the 1" is the location where he went out of bounds. In other words, less than 1 yard from the touchdown. I believe they watched replays and said it was actually a touchdown and gave them points for it.
For the head kicking/kneeing haha, they have helmets on, if anything it will just hurt the jumping guys knee. Also you should see what happens when a hurdle goes wrong lol. It’s awesome on defense if you catch someone in the air like that
As long as you pass or touch the orange “post” BEFORE you go out of bounds it’s a touch down
In Football. If you are a runner then only the ball has to break the plane. This can be done by of course running straight in, being knocked back and reaching over the white, or the ball touching the inside of the pylon.
As for a catch, since the ball breaks the plane regardless, one would have to complete the reception process. Establishing control and getting 2 feet (NFL) OR 1 foot (college) inbounds and maintaining control through contact with the ground.
My favorite part of football is the great running plays ! I would like to see your reactions to those !
We have a Barry Sanders reaction coming soon!
