re: Weird end of game field goal.

An explanation: basically, you have two options when your team makes a fair catch. You can either take possession of the ball on offense, or you can attempt a field goal from the spot where the ball was caught. Not from seven yards behind where the ball was caught, but where the player made the catch. So the teams line up like it's a kickoff, but somebody holds, and the other team tries to return if the kick is short.
