Rush

On the offensive side, "rushing the ball" or simply "rushing" refers to running plays. This is when the offense hands off the football to a running back (or occasionally a quarterback) who attempts to carry the ball forward by running it. The offensive line's job is to create openings or "holes" in the defense for the running back to gain yardage. The number of rushing attempts, yards gained, and touchdowns scored on the ground are important statistics in American football.

Extra Point Attempt

It is a play that occurs immediately after a team scores a touchdown.

Extra Point Made

Defensive Recover

It refers to a play in which a defensive player successfully gains possession of the football after it has been fumbled (i.e., dropped or lost control of) by an offensive player.

Pass Incompleted

Fumble

A situation where a player who is in possession of the ball loses control of it, allowing the ball to become free and potentially recoverable by either team.

Punt

A special play where a team kicks the ball to the opposing team on fourth down, typically used to switch possession and gain field position.

Return

It refers to the act of a player receiving a kicked ball (such as a kickoff or punt) and attempting to advance it by running up the field in the opposite direction toward the opponent's end zone.

Pass Intercepted

It's when a defensive player catching a forward pass thrown by the quarterback intended for an offensive player, resulting in a change of possession, with the defense gaining control of the ball.
