Anyone else have Seahawks DEF?

Here is the ruling on the Seattle Defensive TD: Seattle recovered the ball on the San Fransisco 18, fumbled it, recovered the ball again and scored the touchdown. Despite two different Seattle defensive players possessing the ball, it counts as an 18-yard defensive fumble recovery TD. Thanks for your patience while our stats provider finally sorted out the details.

I don't have SEA def in any leagues but a work buddy does. I'm trying to decipher the logic here and all I can come up with is that once Trufant fumbled and recovered by SEA, then SEA is considered the 'offensive' team at that point or something to that effect - perhaps the fact that the 2nd recovery scored off of their own misfortune rather than scoring off the opponents?. Big J - can you help on the ruling on this? I'm still thinking it should be a DEF TD but I can kinda understand why it wouldn't as well (if that makes any sense).

Since the defensive team was on the field at the start of the play, it is considered a defensive TD for FF purposes for that team if they get a TD on that play, regardless of how many turnovers occured during that play.

Can you explain why all the host sites are NOT counting this as a SEA def TD then?

This is the response I received from Yahoo!:

 

"Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Sports.

 

I appreciate your inquiry with regards to league scoring.

 

We are working with our data provider on this play. Normally a double

fumble negates points as the fumble recovery and ensuing TD have to take

place after a change of possession. Since there was no change of

possession on the second fumble recovery it may negate the points.

Please keep in mind the commissioner of a Private PLUS league can

manually award points if they disagree with the official decision.

 

The NFL forwards us stat corrections every week on Wednesday night, we

apply them Thursday morning. At that time if you do not see a correction

you can manually award the points via your commissioner tools.

 

** You can click on the 'Stat Corrections' link from the 'Players' tab

to view a list of corrections that have been processed in your league.

 

*** Please note that any statistical changes that are made will only

impact head-to-head matchups if they are made before the first game of

the following week.

 

Please feel free to email me again with any further comments or

questions.

 

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Sports."

 

Since the score, MFL had always counted it as a defensive TD.

Here is what I just received from Yahoo. I had to e-mail them again as what they contradicts, in one place it says they are working on giving the D credit and then goes onto say it was an offensive TD. I am the Commish of my league and I know if I fight to give myself credit for the points, there will be problems with my league as I am sure no one else was watching the 49er/Seattle game like I was.

 

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Sports.

 

I appreciate your inquiry with regards to the fumble recovery return TD

by Seattle.

 

Engineering is currently working on a scoring fix in order to credit the

Seattle DEF with the TD.

 

This play is currently being recorded as an offensive fumble return TD

as Seattle had possession of the football, fumbled, recovered the

football and scored a TD. Therefore, the Seattle DEF is not credited

with a TD on the play.

 

Here is the play-by-play description:

 

Frank Gore rushed up the middle for 5 yard loss. Frank Gore fumbled.

Marcus Trufant recovered fumble and returned for 4 yards. Marcus Trufant

fumbled. Craig Terrill recovered fumble and returned for 10 yards

(Olindo Mare made PAT)

 

Therefore, Craig Terrill is being credited with an offensive fumble

return TD in leagues that use the stat category.

 

Please feel free to email me again with any further comments or

questions.

 

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Sports.

 

Regards,

 

Marshall
