Game Length: An NFL game consists of four quarters of 15 minutes each, with breaks between the second and third quarters and at the end of the second quarter.

Scoring: Touchdowns are worth 6 points, field goals are worth 3 points, extra points (PATs) are worth one or two points, and safeties are worth two points.

Territory Advance: Teams have four plays (downs) to advance at least 10 yards. If they succeed, they win another series of four moves.

Ball Possession: The attacking team tries to advance with the ball to score points, while the defensive team tries to prevent the advance or regain possession of the ball.

Pass and Run: The quarterback passes the ball or players can run with it. There are specific rules for completed passes, incomplete passes and interceptions.

Fouls and Penalties: There are several penalties, such as pass interference, holding, and illegal shifting, that can result in yards gaining or falling back or further downs.

Replay: Some plays can be reviewed by challenges from coaches or automatically in the final two minutes of each half of the game to ensure correct decisions by referees.

Victory Conditions: The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. In the event of a tie in the regular season, there may be extra time.
