O

The offensive team includes the offensive linemen, backfield, and receivers. The linemen (centers, tackles, and guards) block on every play, trying to prevent the defense from tackling the ball carrier. The backfield consists of the quarterback, as well as running backs (a fast halfback and a blocking fullback) who stand behind him. Receivers are the speedy pass-catchers who stand along the line of scrimmage a few yards away from the linemen. A tight end is a blocker who also can catch passes.

O is also for overtime. Pro and college football games are 60 minutes long (divided into four 15-minute quarters). High school games last 48 minutes (four 12-minute quarters). Youth football games are usually slightly shorter. When a game is tied after regulation play, it goes into overtime. In the NFL, the first team to score wins. In most other leagues, each team starts from the opposing 25-yard line, and the team scoring the most points is the winner.

O is for the offense, trying to gain yards: quarterbacks, runners, receivers, centers, tackles, guards.
