This article isn't the easiest to read when you've got no clue what any of the following mean:
- go for 2
- down 8
- convert
Or which sport they come from for that matter.
Some of these I could guess, but 'conversion' is a tricky one.
- mminer237 3y agoIn American football, getting the ball to the other side of the field is a touchdown and worth 6 points. Afterwards, you have the option of kicking the ball through the posts for 1 extra point (which is almost guaranteed) or trying to run the ball into the end zone in one attempt for 2 extra points. If you make a touchdown but you still have 8 fewer points than the other team, you can either take the 1 point and hope to score again then get 1 more point again to tie, or you can try for 2 points and hope to score again and then either take the 1 point for the win if you make the first 2 points or try the 2 points again then to tie it up. A "conversion" is scoring either form of extra points.
