Onside Kicks
An Onside Kick is a special kickoff in which the
ball is kicked a shorter distance than normal in
order for the kicking team to attempt to regain
possession of the ball.
In NFL GameBreaker Trivia, the kicking team
must announce that they will be attempting
an Onside Kick before the left spinner has
been fl icked. Refer to the outer ring on the
spinner to determine if the Onside Kick has
been a success. The team that recovers the
ball will begin their next drive at the 50-yard
line.
PUNTS
When the off ense fails to gain 10 yards in its
fi rst 3 plays, they may elect to punt the ball
on 4th down, rather than running a play and
risking a turnover on downs. To punt the ball,
the off ense must announce “Punt”, then fl ick
the spinner on the left to determine the length
of their punt.
The punt occurs 7 yards behind the line of
scrimmage. The game piece should be moved
7 yards behind the line of scrimmage prior to
kicking the punt. Once the spinner is fl icked
and the punt is kicked, the game piece should
be moved down the fi eld the number of yards
indicated on the spinner.
The receiving team then has the opportunity
to return the punt. The receiving team must
fl ick the right spinner to determine the length
of the return. The game piece is then moved
the number of yards indicated on the return
spinner.
Fair Catch
The receiving team has the option of calling
for a Fair Catch if they do not want to attempt
a return. This should be called following the
punt. The receiving team should not fl ick the
right spinner if a Fair Catch is called.
If the ball is punted into the end zone and the
receiving team calls for a Fair Catch, the result
of the play is a Touchback and the off ense
takes over on its own 20-yard line.
If the result of the punt is that the game piece
moves deeper than 10 yards past the goal line,
the ball has traveled through the end zone and
there can be no return. The result of the play is
a Touchback and the off ense takes over on its
own 20-yard line.
FIELD GOALS
If the off ense stalls inside of its opponent’s 45-
yard line, the off ense may attempt a Field Goal.
To attempt a Field Goal, the off ense should
announce that it is kicking a Field Goal and will
be asked a question from the Kicking Cards
deck.
The diffi culty of the Field Goal question is de-
termined by the line of scrimmage. To make it
easy to determine the length of your kick, the
fi eld is divided into color-coded Kicking Zones.
Look at your line of scrimmage and determine
your Kicking Zone. The Defense should read
the question on the card that corresponds to
the appropriate Kicking Zone.
Remember, the further you are from the end
zone, the more diffi cult your kick (question)
will be.
