The line to gain is the yard line required to obtain a first down....it's indicated by the end of the chain or the yellow line they display on the field during a broadcast.
If the ball is spotted "beyond the line to gain", the team successfully obtained a new set of downs. If it is "behind the line to gain" they either have more work to do, or they might have turned the ball over on downs. |
