Is the field goal good?

Sports Asked on February 17, 2021

During a field goal, if the ball hits the ground and bounces through the uprights and above the crossbar, is it still good despite hitting the ground first?

One Answer

No. Rule 11 Section 4 Article 1 states:

Article 1 Successful Field Goal. A field goal is scored when all of the following conditions are met:

(b) After the ball is kicked, it must not touch the ground or any player of the offensive team before it passes through the goal.
