1. In addition to a kickoff, the other free kick is a kick after a
safety (safety kick). A punt may be used (a punt may not be used on
a kickoff).
2. On a safety kick, the team scored upon puts ball in play by a punt,
dropkick, or placekick without tee. No score can be made on a free
kick following a safety, even if a series of penalties places team
in position. (A field goal can be scored only on a play from scrimmage
or a free kick after a fair catch.)
