Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Touchdown: 6 points. Field Goal: 3 points. Safety : 2 points. Try after touchdown: 1 point (Field Goal or Safety) or 2 points (Touchdown)

Detailed explanation-2: -Games in which a team scored only safeties According to Pro-Football Reference, only 37 games in NFL history (including the AFPA, AAFC and AFL, leagues that were later merged into the NFL) and only seven since the NFL/AFL merger of 1970 have ended with one team scoring only a safety (or multiple safeties).

Detailed explanation-3: -Safeties (tackle an offensive player in their own end zone) is worth two points. Field goals (kicking the ball through the uprights) is worth three points. Touchdowns are worth 6 points. PATs (kicking the ball through the uprights after a touchdown) is worth one point, bringing the touchdown up to a total of 7 points.

Detailed explanation-4: -Safety Kick Once a safety is awarded to the defense for getting tackled or fumbling the ball out of their end zone, the defense will be awarded 2 points. They also will be awarded possession. This means that the offense will need to kick or punt the football to the opposing team.

Detailed explanation-5: -Worth two points, NFL defenses can score a safety by tackling the offensive player who has the football behind his own goal line or by making him run or fumble the ball out bounds behind his own goal line. It is also a safety if the offense commits a penalty in its own end zone.
