NFL RULES
Turnovers
While trying to move the ball, the offense sometimes accidentally loses possession of
the football.
Fumble
When the ball carrier drops the football, or has it knocked from their hands, that’s called a
fumble. Any player on the fi eld can recover the ball and the one who ends up with control is
awarded possession.
Interception
When the quarterback throws the football, he must be aware of all the defenders’ locations. If
a member of the defense catches the pass, he immediately has possession and can attempt to
score a touchdown.
