I was pretty sure that a couple year ago I was watching an NFL game and someone got 1 point, please let me know if this is true or how this happens. Thanks.

Then if not NFL how in college. I have been playing football all my life, college, semi-pro, and have never actually witnessed this how can one point happen. Not the extra-point, just one point. I thought it was something with a punt or kick or field goal. I remember them saying theyve never seen anything like it before.

Zero is the lowest score possible.
If points are scored, the lowest total would be 2 points for a safety.
The Canadian Football League has a 1-point play.

2 points is the lowest for a safety. For that matter, the score at the end of a game can be any number after 2 as a combination of safeties and field goals, the only number a score can never be is 1.
2 points is a safety
3 points is a field goal
4 points (2 safeties)
5 points (1 field goal, 1 safety)
And so on...
The only time one point is earned on any play is after a touchdown for the extra point.

In pro and ollege the lowest you can score on one play is 2, and this is the obvious safety or a drop kick, which is also worth two points. The only possible way to score one point is a PAT, and thats after you have scored a touchdown for a total of 7 points...Your either lying about your experience or your memory deceives you!

You cannot score one point without a touchdown in the NFL, but you can in college.
Say Miami is playing Colorado. Miami scores a touchdown and goes for the extra point, and it gets blocked. A player from Colorado picks it up, and runs towards his endzone. On the 5 yard line the Colorado player then fumbles the ball. A Miami play then picks it and and tries to run with it. Instead of running forward, he runs backwards into the endzone trying to avoid being tackled, and ends up getting tackled in the endzone. Colorado would then be awarded one point.

It could have been done. Years ago Their was no two points after a TD you could only kick it for one point. Now this was only in the NFL. So if one team scored a TD and was going to kick the ex-point and the other blocked it and ran it back it would only be good for one point. I have never heard of any one getting only one point. But it could happen back they.
Now if it happened it would be a 2 point play.

There's no way to score a single point, unless you've already scored a touchdown and are simply kicking the PAT:

It's possible, of course, in the CFL where a punt or missed FG that doesn't get returned out of the end zone is worth a single point.

That is not possible. A saftey is worth 2 points, a fieldgoal is worth three, a touchdown is worth six points with the option of kicking an extra point for one additional point or going for two after a touchdown. It is impossible for a team to score only one point in a game.

about two or three years ago in NCAAF there was a 1 point scoring play (not a PAT). This was discussed on this forum a couple weeks ago. I can not remember how it happened. Maybe you can search resolved answers for the best answer explanantion.
