How do you get 2 points in football without a touchdown?
Most teams will try to kick an extra point, a field goal from just outside the end zone that is worth one point. To earn two points, however, the offensive team gets one play to run or pass the ball into the end zone by starting from the opponent’s 2-yard line, thus earning a “two-point conversion.”
Why is there no extra point at the end of the game?
In 2018, the NFL changed a rule about extra points after the final play of the game. If the extra point doesn’t matter to the outcome, there’s no kick. So on Monday night, after Horsted’s catch was ruled a touchdown, the two teams just continued to shake hands and went to the locker room.

Do 2 point conversions count towards stats?
