An "Extra Point" is a scoring play in American football that occurs after a team scores a touchdown. After the touchdown, the team has the option to kick the ball through the goalposts for one extra point or attempt a two-point conversion by running or passing the ball into the end zone again. The extra point is a way to add to the team's score, making touchdowns even more valuable. The extra point is typically taken from the 15-yard line and is considered a relatively easy kick for most professional kickers. However, the decision to go for one or two points can change the game's strategy, as teams weigh the risks and rewards of each option.
