offensive plays
Touchdowns and passes
Offensive plays are strategic actions in sports where a team attempts to score rather than defend.
In American football, basketball, and similar games, coaches design offensive plays as coordinated movements and assignments: The quarterback called an offensive play at the line of scrimmage.
The term contrasts with defensive plays, which aim to prevent scoring.
