Punts are used to begin and end the game in football. To start the game, the opposing teams first and goal line is the goal line and you would like to get a first down and score a touchdown to win. After a touchdown, if the game is tied, you would like to kick the ball away to make it fair for the offense and they have a chance to score a touchdown or get close to the goal line to score a touchdown. Once the game is over, the team that’s the closest to the goal line with the ball wins.
