The little stuff that happens during the game.

Terms

Coin toss: Happens before the game to determine who gets the ball first and what way the teams will go to try to score. This is a coin toss before Super Bowl XLVII, and as you can see, it's a big deal.

2 minute warning: Happens with 2 minutes remaining in the second and fourth quarter to let the teams get a breather and make their plans before the final few plays before the end of the first half and the end of the game.

Halftime: The time where both teams get a break and a chance to regroup.

Things to know

• After the end of each quarter the teams switch sides and go the other way.
• If a coach throws a red flag onto the field then they are challenging a play because they believe that the referees made a mistake.
• The referees can review plays to make sure that they made the right decision about a play, they do this by using the instant replay.
