Question

On first down, a football team lost 16 yd. After two

downs, the team had an overall gain of 5 yd. How
many vards were gained on second down?

Answer 1

I believe it’s 21 yards
Because the 16 yards they lost is -16 and you have to get to a positive 5. So you have to get to 0 by adding 16 and then add another 5 to it and you get 21
