Punt-The defensive team stops the offensive team from getting 10 yards in three downs, and the offensive team free-kicks, or punts, the ball to the other team on third down.
Turnover on downs-The offensive team fails to advance the ball lO yands in four downs and has to surrender the ball to the other team.
For those new to the sport the last two scenarios on this list may not make sense. One of the most confusing concepts of American-style football is the down-and-distance system. Every time a team takes possession of the ball, it is given a set of four downs, or attempts, to move the ball l0 yards. If the team can move the ball lO yards or more Within four downs, the team gets another set of four downs to go another l0 yards, and so on. For instance, if a team advances 3 yards on first down, the next play is second down with 7 yards to go ; if the team then advances 5 yards on second down, the next play is third and 2; if the team then advances 2 or more yards on third down, the next play is back to first and lO, wich a whole new set of four downs during which to advance the ball.

美国橄榄球
美国橄榄球是一项独特的运动,它是一种以攻占阵地得分的比赛。两队队员进入球场,每一队都会尽量坚守自己的每寸阵地不让对方攻入。每个队都想既能防守住自己的后方阵地又能攻入对方的前线阵地。最后,他们都想攻占足够的阵地以求达阵得分或射门得分。
