      Do you mean like a quarterback catching his own pass or do you mean method, like safety or the old one point run in on the extra point before they added the two point conversion?

        What the play is actually called.
        Like a TD or FG

          There is some weird obscure way for an opposing team to score 1 point on an extra point, not the team that scored the touchdown, but the team that is on defense. It has to do with the ball somehow going out of the opposite endzone, or something really strange. Some guy was telling me about it at work a few months back and I didn't believe him and looked it up, and sure enough, there is a way for the opposing team to score 1 point after a touchdown. Even after reading up on the rule, I was still quite confused.

            You are correct for 1 of the 2 ways. It is called a one point safety

                Nope the return of the extra points happens a few times of year just in college and even in the pros.

                A little hint it has to deal with kicking, and it was most recently done in the pros and by recently was in the 05 NFL season

                    And it should be pointed out that each level of football (HS, College, NFL, XFL) has different rules around scoring.

                          That happened to Kansas State a few years ago. I assumed it was one of the answers.

                            Went through and redid some basic math. Your answer is probably more right.

                            Running Cat fire off a question.

                            Gliac fan10 fire off a question too.

                              Seattle almost had to do this 2 years ago when Janikowski got hurt in a game. Dixon was practicing drop kicks.
