Re: superbowl XLI
Very basically the aim of the game is to move the ball into the end zone. You can do this by running or passing. You have 4 attempts - these are known as downs - to move the ball 10 yards if you move the ball 10 yards then you get a new set of downs. If you do not move the ball 10 yards in these 4 downs then the opponents get the ball. Because of this most teams depending on the situation will kick - punt - the ball away on 4th down.
Think Rugby League but with a forward pass
