In a kickoff, one team kicks the ball to the other team, which catches it and tries to run it forward. When you have the ball, you get four tries "downs" to move the ball at least 10 yards forward to the "first down line" helpfully marked in yellow on TV broadcasts.

In a standard play, the quarterback will either attempt to throw the ball down the field to a receiver or else hand the ball to a running back. There are a variety of unorthodox "trick plays" that can be attempted, but they are very risky and rarely used.
