Just curious when in the history of American football a limited number of tackles was introduced. Might be worth adding to this article somewhere.-- Jeff79 ( talk) 11:23, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
I moved the article to Down (gridiron football). The article discusses not only the down in American football, but in Canadian football as well, and as such the old title is inappropriate.-- Cúchullain t/ c 18:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry I'm new to american football... Does the next down begin on the spot where the ball was when the ball carrier was tackled or the farthest point he managed to get the ball? For example, 1st and 10, a running back carries the ball 9 yards from the line of scrimmage but the defence forces him back 2 yards and after that manages to take him to the ground. Is the result 2nd and 1 or 2nd and 3? 193.66.72.129 ( talk) 08:23, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The first down or downs in American gridiron Football has been recognized on this Wikipedia page in other uses as the 1st n 10 graphic yellow first down line, therefore we should also mention the First down laser line systems. I posted it under the proper other uses title of first down or downs in Gridiron football. I would like to post this important to the American Football first down systems in other uses. I cited the facts and hope you can agree.
My edit of public interest cited under gridiron downs facts here are mostly taken from Alan Amron Wikipedia page.
