What is the call for this play?

Its the last play of the 1st half. Team A has the ball on their own 1 yard line so the QB can't take a knee. At the snap, Team B blitzes and tackles the QB in the end zone for a safety. Now what happens? The clock has run out.

1. Is it just the end of the half? or,

2. Does there have to be another play were Team A kicks to Team B?

3. Is it carried over to the 2nd half?

I suspect it just the end of the half, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    1. end of the half award team b 2 points. It doesnt carry over. you just run out of time. purpose of the game is to gain advantage WITHIN the time restraints.

    2 points (safety) is awarded to Team B and because their is no time left on the clock, the half ends. A safety punt cannot happen because it'll cause time to run off the clock and no time remains therefore the half is over.

    Refs will review the play and see if there is any time on the clock for a kickoff.........otherwise they receive two points and the half is over

    The team with the safety gets to recieve the special kick, and then halftime.

    1 and 3 are the same explanation but you're right. They just go to the 2nd half.
