"Point after touchdown" is a central term in American football, but there are several synonyms that can be used interchangeably. One common synonym is "extra point" or "PAT" which is the shortened version of the term. The phrases "conversion kick" or "chip shot" can also be used to refer to the point after touchdown. In some instances, coaches may give specific instructions to players to execute a "two-point conversion" instead of attempting a PAT. Regardless of the term used, the ultimate goal is to score additional points following a touchdown to give the team an advantage in the game.
