It is two in a row, not two for one. I think the announcers that are taking 2 for 1 from basketball and inappropriately applying it are either lazy or just not thinking what they are saying.
If you get a possession at the end of the half and beginning the 2nd half, without the other team getting one...that's 2 for 1.
The terminology is the same but the definition is different. Basketball is literally getting 2 possessions to the other teams 1. Football is getting 2 consecutive possessions instead of 1.
