How does your league score plays like Saints TD?

Brees throws interception. During return, Meachem strips the ball and runs it in.

 

Just noticed that ESPN has scored it as DEF TD.

personal philosophy:

- pick for brees

- fr and td for NOS team D

- TD no yards for meachum

 

in idp:

Yep, I think that's how the NFL considers it. Once Washington makes the interception, New Orleans technically becomes the defensive team.

ESPN also counts this a Points Allowed by the Washington Def. They do this for all TDs where there is a Defensive TD (point allowed against the offensive team's defense). Their philosophy as explained to me last week is that the "offense" becomes the "defense" and thus allowed the points. They have no way to track the actual Points Allowed by a Team DEF. Their recommendation was to submit a suggestion for next year. 10 years ago we might not have been able to track this, but Fanball does it without issue.
