@witchfynder_finder “so you know how in soccer you have to kick the ball inside the goal?? in american football it’s the same thing, only the goal is up high. if you kick it from far away then it’s worth 3 points.
but there is an easier way, which is if you get a guy to the end of the field, then you get to kick from up close, although that’s only worth 1 point.
HOWEVER you get 6 points just for making it down there”

yes now you’re getting it
