ReturnToSender Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The NFL has credited Hakeem Nicks with a 23-yard reception from Week 2 after it was initially ruled a pass interference penalty. It's a 2.3-point swing in standard scoring leagues, bringing Nicks' Week 2 stat line up from three catches for 15 yards and a touchdown to four grabs for 38 yards and the score. Fantasy commissioners will have to dictate in their own leagues how to treat the situation, but the play surely was a reception down the left sideline with Bradley Fletcher in coverage. For the season, Nicks is up to 11 grabs for 160 yards, plus the one TD. Just happened in our PPR league, 3 point swing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osu1322 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah I thought i won by 0.5 points (he had Manning going on Mon) It gave him a 1.2 points and caused my opponent to win by 0.7. We were also the Never say never game of the week (in Espn...) and just thought that the name was very fitting... I still don't understand how the stat people are able to make the ruling that it's a catch... The refs on the field make a call and it wasn't reviewed. Not to mention a penalty was enforced on the play that should nullify all yardage and catch.... But no the stat keepers now are taking away the penalty and giving Hicks a catch 23 yards and Manning 23 yards.... I can't wait to see what major sports comes up with next... Maybe a computer to call Balls and Strikes in baseball... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedingGreen Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I remembered this and commented on it at the time, it was 100% a catch. They do it through review. I'm curious, as well, how or why they change this stuff after the fact, but in reality, with contracts and records, it's only fair. This should also (mildly) affect Manning's stats.
