The One-Point Wonder: The Conversion Safety
There's only one way to score a single point in the NFL, and it's about as likely as encountering a unicorn riding a narwhal. It's called a conversion safety. Buckle up, because this gets weird.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
- Step 1: Score a Touchdown (the Easy Part) Yeah, you gotta do the whole "move the ball down the field" thing first. Easy peasy, right? Just pretend you're Tom Brady and everyone forgets how to tackle.
- Step 2: The Extra Point...Not So Extra This Time (Here's Where Things Get Interesting) Now comes the fun part! You have two options for your extra point: kick a field goal (worth 3 points, way too many for our purposes) or go for two points with a risky play. But today, we're all about that one-point safety.
- Step 3: The Fumble heard 'Round the World (Literally Never Happens) Here's where things get truly magical. The kicker shanks the extra point attempt (maybe he was busy daydreaming about narwhals). A defender miraculously snags the loose ball...right in your own end zone!
- Step 4: Embrace the Chaos (This Won't Actually Happen) Now, this brave defender has a choice: run it out or get tackled. But plot twist! He trips over his own shoelaces (because apparently the football gods have a twisted sense of humor) and fumbles the ball out of the end zone. Congratulations, you've achieved the impossible! One glorious point!
Please note: The likelihood of this happening is about as high as winning the lottery while simultaneously being struck by lightning. Don't bet your house on it.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
