Default NFL scoring

I'm not a big football fan but I do watch occasionally, so I turn it to espn and the giants and panthers are playing and the score is 2-7 or 2 something. WTF, 2 points, never seen that, I also noticed a final score of 9 points, what's going on. Did field goals change from 3 to 2?

and no, field goals are still worth 3 points. what is 3x3? 9. so that means you can get nine a few ways, 3 fields goals, a touchdown miss the point after and then make a field goal, or a touchdown point after and safety.

you get two points when you hit a home run in football. everyone knows that. lol There must be at least two people on the court when this happens though including a short stop and a power forward.

Screw you guys. Lol. I didn't know that safety were 2. Don't know much about football and really don't like it much but I had never seen 2 on the scoreboard. Lol. I never thought I would learn bout football on ls1tech hahaha. But anyways I'm not stupid like someone said, I don't have a wife to tell me what to watch or what to do or what to buy for me my car or whatever the **** I want and my ***** wouldn't fit on a purse,lol. If I did I wouldn't listen to her anyway, hahaha, just like you guys. Well thanks for the schooling!

it's okay. the real pussies are the ones making fun of you for not knowing a lot about football. some guys have to watch and talk about football 24/7 to make themselves feel like a "real" man...pussies. it's ridiculous to make fun of someone for not knowing everything about a ******* sport. but to answer your question the way it should've been answered, no, field goals haven't been changed to 2 points. the only way to receive 2 points is to be given a safety.

Well yeah don't bother me none, they don't know who I am or what I do or **** like that. But there's a lot of a-holes who need to put someone down to feel good and guess what, everything that anybody says goes in one ear and out the other and that usually bothers the people doing the talkng instead of me. But I don't give a damn!
