A ball that is not in possession of either team, such as after a fumble or a kickoff; it can be recovered by either team.

A ball becomes live as soon as it is snapped or free kicked (as in a kickoff); opposite of a dead ball.

An imaginary line which no player may cross before the snap; each team has its own line of scrimmage, separated by the neutral zone.

A pass thrown to a teammate backwards from the team’s line of scrimmage or parallel to it; unlike a forward pass (which can be thrown only once per play), players may lateral the ball as often as they want.

When a player kicks a ball from a tee at his own 30-yard line (35 in college) to the opposing team, whose player tries to advance it the other way; used to start the game, the second half and overtime, and to restart play after each score.

A pass caught in the air (picked off) by a defender whose team immediately gains possession of the ball and becomes the offense.

A foul called against a quarterback who purposely throws an incomplete forward pass solely to avoid a sack; cannot be called if the pass lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage.

A forward pass that touches the ground before being caught.

The benefit a team gets by playing games in the area where it is based, due to fan support, familiarity with its surroundings and the lack of required travel.

A foul where a player impedes the movement of an opponent by grasping or hooking any part of his body or uniform; punishable by a penalty — 10 yards if against the offense, 5 yards (10 yards in college) plus a first down if against the defense.
