Football Terms to Know Ahead of the Super Bowl 60

This guide clarifies NFL rules like coin toss strategy, downs, scoring, and penalties to help casual viewers better understand Super Bowl 60's gameplay.

  • Super Bowl 60 will feature the NFL's biggest stage, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks, approaching soon.
  • Because non-diehard viewers will tune in, this explainer targets casual fans, offering a simple walkthrough so newcomers can follow the game.
  • Teams have four downs to gain ten yards and reset to first down when successful, while the play ends when the player is tackled and a sack starts the next play from that spot.
  • When the coin toss is won, the winning team may choose to kick or receive, with deferring allowing choice at halftime, while on fourth down teams decide to go for it or punt to avoid poor field position.
  • Officials throw yellow penalty flags near fouls, TV broadcasts overlay a first-down yellow line, and a touchdown scores six points followed by a one-point PAT or two-point conversion.
