A line drawn across the width of the field, 10 yards inside each end line, which a team must cross with the ball to score a touchdown.

| Goalpost |
|
A tall metallic structure that stands at the back of each end zone; consists of a crossbar and two uprights that extend upward from it, supported directly above the end line by a base; teams try to kick the ball above the crossbar and between the uprights to score a field goal or extra point.

| Going for it |
|
When a team facing a fourth down decides to try for a new first down instead of punting; if it fails, it loses possession of the ball.
