What is a 30 second timeout in the nfl?

Silly as it sounds, the length of a timeout depends upon how many TV commercials have been shown in the half. Besides the end of the quarter and the 2-minute warning, there are 8 additional "TV timeouts" which will extend the length of any given team timeout to 1 minute 50 seconds.

Once all of the TV timeouts have been used up, any remaining team timeouts taken will only last 30 seconds.

Can you kick an onside kick after a safety?

After a safety, the team that was forced into a safety must punt the ball to the opposing team instead of kicking a normal kickoff. I guess it just depends on how far the ball is being punted, there are no rules on how far the ball must be punted after a safety. So the answer is yes but it's not called an onside kick.

When can a football field goal be made?

Can a player run out of bounds and come back in to make a play?

During the course of play, as long as you reestablish legal position on the court prior to receiving the ball play continues without penalty.

An inbounds play may be a different case. I believe you cannot be the first one to touch the inbounded ball if you go out of bounds to shake a defender.

Can a single player block another player below the knee in American youth football?

A block below the waist is called a "cut block," and the rules regarding this can vary among different youth leagues, so it would be best to consult a rulebook or a league official.

At the high school level, cut blocking is allowed within the "free-blocking zone," defined as a rectangular area extending 4 yards laterally from the ball and 3 yards to either side of the line of scrimmage. Once the ball carrier has left the zone, the zone no longer exists.

A chop block, however, is never legal. This is when a player gets cut while already engaged by someone who is blocking high (above the knee).

What constitutes a spot foul in football?

Fouls or penalties in American football are the result of rules infractions that are seen by the referees on the field. They are signaled by an official throwing a marker, or "flag", on the field at the time of infraction. Announcement of the infraction(s) and enforcement of penalties follows immediately following gameplay, after the play is whistled "dead" and before the start of the subsequent play.

How many downs are given to the offense in order to make a first down in football?

In the NFL and most other American football rules a team gets four downs to either score with a touchdown, a field goal, or to make a first down, and start the count of downs again. Usually the fourth down is used to punt the ball away, rather than give the football up on the spot, if the previous three downs didn't result in some more favorable outcome.

What are the two conference in nfl?

The American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. They were created in 1970, when the NFL merged with the rival American Football League. Thirteen of the 16 teams from the pre-merger NFL established the NFC, while the Steelers, Colts, and Browns left the old NFL to join the 10 AFL teams to establish the AFC.

In football How do you get half of a sack?

When two players reach the quarterback at the same time and make the tackle, the sack is divided between the two players. Same with tackles ... you might see in the game's statistics where a defensive player had 5.5 tackles. This is because, when two players are responsible for bringing the ball carrier down, regardless of whether it is the quarterback or another offensive player, the sack/tackle is divided between the two defensive players.

Why is the football placed eight yards behind the line of scrimmage for a field goal attempt?

That is just how the rule is. Twenty yards are added to each field goal attempt from where the team stopped. It would be a little hard to kick it through the post at the one yard line, so that could be a reason.
