What Is a Pick 6 In American Football?
Pick 6 in American Football refers to when the defending team catches the ball from the opposing quarterback, and then the defendant runs towards the touchdown zone of the other side. When a defending team catches the ball before it touches the ground, they automatically become the attacking team. If they achieve a touchdown after robbing the ball this way, it is said they have done a Pick Six.

How do they make the NFL schedule?
The NFL league splits 32 teams into two conferences where first is the American Football Conference (AFC) and second is the National Football Conference (NFC). Each 16-team conference is then split into four divisions of four teams each — the East, North, South and West.
There will be 17 games for each team this season, and here’s a breakdown of how each team’s opponents are set:
- One game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season. This is a newer addition to the schedule after NFL owners approved a 17-game schedule ahead of the 2021 season.
- Two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference — one game at home and one on the road. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.
- Four games against teams from a division within its conference — two games at home and two on the road.
- Four games against teams from a division in the other conference — two games at home and two on the road.
- Six games against divisional opponents — two games per team, one at home and one on the road.
