In a safety, who gets the two points: the offense or the defense?

Question

Im confused!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

A safety, in football, is caused when the offensive player with the ball is tackled inside his own endzone (100 yards from his objective). Thus, the team playing defense gets 2 points for acheiving this rare, hard-to-do event.



So if you have the ball, and I tackle you in your endzone, I get 2 points. Cool?

Answer 2

The team on Defense gets two points for the safety.

Answer 3

The defense.



A Safety is when the the opposing team sacks the opposing teams quaterback in thier end zone.



For Example lets say Matt Hasselbeck and the Seahawaks are on the Pittsburgh 1 yd line. Pittsburgh Strong Saftey Troy Polanalu breaks through the line with his funky hair flying everywhere and sacks Hasselback back in the Pittsburgh end zone.



Pittsburgh the defenenders gets 2 points and then Seattle hae to kick the ball.

Answer 4

That is simple, in a safety, the defense gets the extra two points.

Answer 5

When the offense is caught,(or downed),in the defenses end-zone the defense will score 2 points as well as having he ball punted to them as a free kick.

Answer 6

The defense gets the points like when a int gets returned for a TD

Answer 7

the team that tackles the other team in their endzone gets the two points

Answer 8
