In football, a scoring play worth three points where the ball is kicked through the uprights above the crossbar.
Compound term from 'field' (the playing area) and 'goal' (the target). Distinguished from touchdowns, field goals represent scoring from anywhere on the field through kicking skill.
Field goals turn kickers into clutch heroes under immense pressure - imagine having 80,000 people screaming while you attempt a 50-yard kick that could win or lose the game, making placekickers some of the most mentally tough athletes in sports!
