About The Touchdown

A touchdown has counted for six points since 1912, when the college rulebook raised it from five, and the NFL has used that value since its founding in 1920. It can come on a long pass, a run up the middle, or a quarterback sneak on fourth and inches, and in every case the ball only has to touch or cross the plane of the goal line.
