field goals
Uprights-splitting football scores
Field goals are scoring plays in American football and basketball.
In football, a field goal scores three points when a kicker boots the ball through the uprights, typically attempted on fourth down when too far for a touchdown: He kicked a 47-yard field goal to win the game.
In basketball, a field goal is any basket scored during regular play, worth two or three points depending on distance—distinguished from free throws.
