Commish,
Can you check or verify if the scoring for Rashied Davis, WR for Chicago, is correct? I believe he should be credited with a TD.
During the 2nd quarter, Desmond Clark caught a pass, but fumbled at the 1-yard line. Davis recovered the fumble and scored the 1-yard TD. The NFL stat log for the game indicates Rashied Davis was credited with a 1 yard TD run. Since the ball never changed possession to the Minnesota defense, it should be considered the same as a lateral from Clark to Davis.
My game is fairly close so the correction/addition of the points could be critical.
Thanks.

Everything I see indicates that it was not a TD run but instead a TD by fumble recovery.

(12:23) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 18-K.Orton pass short middle to 88-D.Clark to MIN 1 for 35 yards (23-C.Griffin). FUMBLES (23-C.Griffin), recovered by CHI-81-R.Davis at MIN -1. TOUCHDOWN.
Since the ball was fumbled at the MIN 1 and rolled into the endzone, it can't be ruled as a TD run. Unfortunately, this league does not award offensive players for fumble recoveries for TD's. Something we may want to address in the future. Otherwise if the official scoring has changed this week to indicate a TD run, I would be willing to address this then and credit your team with the score since you have brought this situation to my attention.
