Safety (method of scoring)

A safety is when you are tackled in your own End zone. Other ways of scoring a safety include: fumbling the ball out the back or sides of your own endzone. Also, if your punt is blocked and deflected out the back or sides of your own endzone. If you catch a punt, kickoff, field goal, or intercept a pass in your own endzone, and remain inside, and you are tackled, it is a touchback, and the ball is placed at your own 20 yard line.
