A co-worker of mine said that if the center snaps the ball to the quarterback and he throws it through the uprights, it is a field goal. is this true?

He said it for two reasons A this rarely happens and also because the umpire probably wouldn't see it.

It's worth 4 points if it's over 50 yards

There is some kind of weird drop kick rule in the NFL.

If you fair catch a kickoff or punt then you can send a kicker on the field to dropkick it through the uprights for 3 points.


Someone might need to look up the specifics of the rule, but that is the jist of it

I remember that happening I think last year... I think it was on a field goal attempt... fumbled snap... ball was drop kicked through the uprights or something.

^ Flutie kicked an extra point using the drop kick two years ago in a meaningless game for the Pats.

4/13/2007 6:08:51 PM

yeah Flutie did the dropkick on an extra point but this is different.

This involves making a fair catch on a punt or kickoff. Then sending a kicker out for a dropkick.

If Im not mistaken, I dont believe the defense is allowed to attempt to block the kick.

4/13/2007 6:10:18 PM

^ yeah I've heard about that rule too. My post above was just to answer Oeuvre's post.
