how do you get 2 points in football

A quick direct answer: in football, you can get 2 points by attempting a two- point conversion after scoring a touchdown, or less commonly via a safety that ends a possession in the offense’s own end zone. The standard route is to run or pass the ball into the end zone from close to the goal line after a TD; if successful, the team gains two additional points (for a total of eight with the TD). There are other situations that yield two points, such as a defensive/safety scenario or a return of a turnover into the end zone, but the primary and most common way for the offense to reach exactly 2 points in a single play is the two-point conversion after a touchdown. If you want a step- by-step example or rule nuances for NFL, college, or another variant, I can break those down.
