I thought if the other team defaulted the game then they would award a 1-0 victory for the other team. But that's off the top of my old head. I've definitely not looked that one up so I could be FOS.

That's not it.

Let me put it this way...an NFL game could end 6-1 with both teams actually scoring those points....no forfeit envolved.....

One point?
is there any way to score half a safety?

That's exactly right...a 1 point safety

 

[LaTunaNostra]

That's exactly right...a 1 point safety

You're kidding..how does it work?

Btw, lucky guess, seemed more 'logical" than one third a field goal. :

Or 1/6 of a TD...

I'll explain later...I'd like to see more feedback first.

Just put it this way..a safety scored on a "1 point play" is a 1 point safety in College and Pro football.

Blocked EP that goes through the other endzone?

 

[lurkercowboy]

It has something to do with the PAT, right? I thought that was only a college rule?

 

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Blocked EP that goes through the other endzone?

Pretty much..yeah.

But it would be a blocked EP, then the teams fumble around with it until it makes it way to the kicking teams endzone. And the defense recovers it therein.

1 point safety!

In the NFL, the defense CANNOT score on an extra point.

That sounds right to me.

OK then what is the answer?

 

[jobberone]

I think I gave the right answer but I don't know I'm just guessing. What is the score for a defaulted game?

 

[StonetheCrow77]

I don't think they forfeit games in the NFL do they?? just reschedule them or relocate...

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don't think they forfeit games in the NFL do they??

A couple of those games we played last year shold have been forfeited. :bang2:

same thing could be said about the Bungles all through the 90's...

 

[twa]

Any time a ball is downed in the defenders endzone after a PA attempt=1pt offense

If an NFL game is forfeited, the score is recorded as 2-0.
