The biggest American football league in our country had been absent for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic and despite already being on World Cup dates, without a doubt, this event will not go unnoticed by the fans, and some that he just catches the euphoria of the moment.
That is why we will now make the ‘Villamelón Guide’ for the great match of the NFL In our country.

While the 49ers are located in the second position in the division with five wins for four losses and a streak of two consecutive wins, the last being against the Chargers.
WHEN AT WHAT TIME AND WHERE WILL THEY PLAY?
The game will be next Monday, November 21 at 7:00 p.m. (Central Mexico time) at the Azteca Stadium.
HOW IS A FOOTBALL GAME PLAYED?
A football game is made up of four quarters of 15 minutes each. Prior to the start of the match, a toss is made to find out which team wants to start defending or attacking. Whoever starts with the defensive line will choose the side of the field they prefer and at the end of each quarter they will change zones.
WHAT IS THE OFFENSE?
Each team has four opportunities to advance the ball 10 yards either on a passing pass or on the ground with a run. If they manage to go 10 yards in all four chances or less, they will have four more chances to go another 10 yards to the end zone.
WHAT IS THE TOUCHDOWN?
The score is known as a ‘touchdown’. This one has a value of six points and after completing it, the team has the opportunity to make an extra point with a field goal that is kicked from the 15-yard line trying to put the ball into a space between two posts that are from end to end. on the gridiron or in case the offense decides, a two-point conversion will be sought on a play from the two-yard line.
HOW MUCH IS A FIELD GOAL WORTH?
It is worth three points.
Surely in the transmission or in the Azteca stadium you will hear some terms that we will explain below:
KICK-OFF
It is the kickoff of the game, when it is resumed after halftime or also when the game is restarted after there has been a touchdown or field goal.
INTERCEPTION
It is when a player who is on defense catches the pass of the opposing quarterback, something that allows possession of the ball to his team.
FIRST AND TEN
It is when a team has the first opportunity of four to advance at least 10 yards and get another four offensive opportunities.
DOWN
This is when a pass or run ends when a player with the ball touches the grass with any part of his body. If he falls, but has not been touched by the opponent, he can get up and continue. The play also ends if the player leaves the field.
FUMBLE
It is the loose ball and it is considered when a player has the ovoid and releases it before falling. The team that has the ball will have the attack. If the loosening team manages to recover the ball, they may continue their offensive series from the point where possession was regained.
SAFETY
It is another way to get points and is achieved when a player is sacked with the ball inside his end zone or leaves the field in this zone. Give points to the rival team. It is worth two points.
