Rileyrott Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 D Jordan (#95) of the Dolphins partially blocked a NYJ punt at 4:22 left in the 3rd Qtr, but CBS did not score it as such. He clearly got a good piece of the ball, but the Jets got +7 yards on the play. Chucky described it as a blocked punt, Jordan's 2nd of the year. This is crucial because we get 2 points for a blocked punt, and I'm at 159.8, and my opponent is at 161.6, and I have the Dolphins D/ST. Was this scored as a blocked punt on other web sites? NFL? Anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball86 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 My guess is it has to stay behind the line of scrimmage to be scored a blocked punt. The kick was called a 6 yard punt during the game so it wouldn't meet that criteria. And I won by 2 points playing against this DST so I'd like to know as well. Those 2 points would give us a tie….in a loser go home last playoff spot game...time to research tiebreaker rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I am curious about this as well. Week 2 this year I lost a matchup after stat corrections when they changed a Steven Hauschka missed field goal to a blocked field goal. A Denver player got just enough of the kick to knock it off course, but it wasn't an obvious block. I don't understand why that we be any different than blocking a punt? If a defensive players gets a piece of it you would think it would be a block. Stat corrections I believe will be out in the morning, it may change Edited December 2, 2014 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People may refer to this as a blocked punt, but it isn't scored that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
