Detailed explanation-1: -In the NFL, a player needs to fully possess the ball and ground two feet in bounds for the touchdown to count.
Detailed explanation-2: -A knee or body part equals two feet as always. This is a sequential rule, meaning one must get two feet down (or body part) then the plus must occur. So if a player gets one foot down, then a knee, the sequence starts with the knee and the foot doesn’t satisfy the plus requirement.
Detailed explanation-3: -In American football, if a team attempting an extra point or two-point conversion (officially known in the rulebooks as a try) scores what would normally be a safety, that attempting team is awarded one point. This is commonly known as a conversion safety or one-point safety.
Detailed explanation-4: -The NFL has confirmed via email that the official rule book merely says that a player must get two feet in bounds, with no elaboration or explanation regarding the ability of a player to make a catch while only ever getting a toe or the top of the foot down.
Detailed explanation-5: -Getting the ball into the opponents endzone gains your team 6 points. That’s called a touchdown. After at touchdown, the scoring team has one try to either kick the ball through the 2 goal posts or try to get it into the endzone again.
