About The Touchdown
No moment in football quite compares to the touchdown, a receiver stretching out across the goal line, a running back churning through the last yard, or a quarterback sneaking it over on fourth and inches. The crowd rises as one, the referee shoots both arms skyward, and somewhere on the field a player spikes the ball into the turf. Six points never felt so hard-earned or so sweet.
