2 teams in Football. 2 ‘end zones’ on either side of the field (which is 100 yards long). One team starts with the football, and through passing and running, tries to get it into the endzone 100 yards away. When one team scores, it’s called a touchdown and the team gets 6 points. Then, the other team will get the ball (via a kickoff) and get a chance to try to score thru passing and running w// the ball.
The quarterback is the leader of the team, and has the ball. Players on the other team try to tackle him before he can throw or pass it off, so that the quarterback’s team doesn’t score. The quarterback has defenders (Called linemen) that defend against the other team tackling the quarterback.
Football might look like a bunch of 300 pound guys jumping on each other, but it’s a little more complicated.
