I think the referee's end up feeling sorry for us losing 68-0 and allow us to kick an extra point just to get on the board.

Nope, it is the only 1 point play in football...if the team blocks the extra point and runs it back....you get 1 point.

College and the CFL, not the NFL.

I am enjoying all of the love for my high school because of MJD. Even showed him in the championship game on the commercials they have been showing.

Are you sure? I remember seeing an NFL game...a long time ago, I think a Raider game, where this happened and they got 1 point. Unless the rules have changed?

I'm nearly 100% sure.... Notice the non-committal "for sure 100%".

• Under college rules, if the defensive team gains possession and advances the ball the length of the field into the opposite end zone on the try (for example by an interception or a fumble recovery, or by blocking a kick and legally recovering the ball), they score two points. This is officially recorded as a touchdown scored by the defense. The NCAA adopted this rule in 1990.

• This scenario cannot occur under NFL or high school football rules; the ball is ruled dead and the try is over immediately when the defense gains possession.

I know it's Wiki, but I'm too lazy to go through the NFL rule book.

Only if it goes against the Raiders.

This one-point safety is the only way a team can have a score of just one point during the course of an American football game.

Right on!!

[Blazing Arrow]

I am pretty certain in the NFL the ball is dead. I remember one game when Deon INT'ed a 2 point try and took it back. No points were given. Unless the rule has changed it is dead once the other team gets the ball.

Vic, emailed me back, he said "no." I guess you learn something everyday. So, you would get a safety in the NFL?...cool.

[mootini]

I do think back in the early days of the NFL, you could get a point? Not sure? Oh well, This would be a cool topic..discussing football rules.

You're right, I forgot about that play. Good call.

OK, back to this question? Jags sucks so bad....they are in 2nd palce of the AFC South....have one of the cheapest ticket prices in the NFL and cannot lift a blackout. We better sell out for that Thursday Night game vs. Colts or the media will have a feeding frenzy.

1 point.

Many years ago I seem to remember a game between the Vikings and Lions. The Lions were having trouble getting to the stadium and were at risk of having to forfeit the game. The score would have been 1-0.

Lions eventually showed up and lost anyway.

If each fan or a number of fans bought an extra ticket or two maybe y'all can get it sold out. Then donate those extra tickets to a charity or some cause.
