1. when you are on 3 out of 4 chances (downs) in football. your team has the ball and you want to score a touchdown. you have 4 total chances to go 10 yards. if you do, you get 4 more chances (back to first down)!! you can get closer to the goal line! if you donโt the other team gets the ball, right there. so, maybe with your last attempt you kick it as far back as you can to put space between the other team and their goal - thatโs a punt. sure, its a good bet. but, if you only have like, one yard left, maybe you take the chance and go for it. going for it is the opposite of punting, itโs the opposite, going for it, get it. teams that go for it make the game exciting
