Football Game Summary Assignment (10 Extra Credit Points + Free Cardio Run)
Name:
Period:
Date:
Who is playing? List the home team second (ex. Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders)
Vs.
Directions: Watch a football game on the television. Answer the following questions describing
what happened during the game. For each play:
1. Circle the type of play (Offense vs. Defense, Kickoff, Punt, Field Goal attempt, Extra Point
attempt)
2. For Offense vs Defense only. Write the Down, Yards to Go, and the Line of Scrimmage (ex.
1st and 10 from the Raiders 30 Yard Line). Writing Raiders means the ball is placed on the
Raiders defensive half of the field. If the Raiders pass the 50 yard line, they now entered
their opponent’s half of the field. As a result, you would write the Broncos 30 Yard Line.
3. Circle all of the following that occurred on the play:
a. Offense vs Defense – Passing Play / Running (Rushing) Play / Penalty / Touchdown /
Fumble / Interception.
b. Kickoff – ball is kicked past the End Zone / ball is caught by the receiving team and is
returned (runs with the ball) for yards / ball is caught by the receiving team but not
returned / Fumble / Penalty, ball is kicked out along the sidelines.
c. Punt – ball is kicked past the End Zone / ball is caught by the receiving team and is
returned (runs with the ball) for yards / ball is caught by the receiving team but not
returned / Fumble / Penalty / ball is kicked out along the sidelines.
d. Field Goal Attempt – ball is kicked between the Field Goal Post / ball is kicked wide
or short of the Field Goal Posts / Penalty / Defense blocks the kick.
e. Extra Point Attempt – ball is kicked between the Field Goal Post / ball is kicked wide
or short of the Field Goal Posts / Penalty / Defense blocks the kick.
4. For Offense vs. Defense only, write how many yards were gained or lost on the play.
5. Write the new score when a Touchdown, Extra Point kick, Field Goal kick, or Saftey occurs
(Broncos 7 – Raiders 14). If the score does not change, you do not have to complete #5.
