Have a question regarding scoring. I'm in a league on espn, standard scoring rules, never changed anything. Question is, I had the steelers defense tonight. When the jets player muffed a punt return and the steeled rrecovered, does that not count as a fumble recovery? Asking because I'm currently tied in my game this week. Was hoping that would count and give me the win.

I dont think so, because it isnt a fumble recovery. A muffed punt doesnt count as a fumble (or turnover) as the receiving team never had possession of the ball.

Checked this morning. Was awarded two points for a fumble recovery to give me the win.

Ours ruled it as an offensive pass from whatever the holders name is to the slot guy who caught the pass.bases_loaded;1273598 wrote:How did everyone's league rule the GB fake FG?
It did not go down as a TD for the DST, and by the NFL statistics it should not.
As for the original question, our league scored it as a DFR for the PIT DST. A muffed punt apparently does go as a fumble by official statistics.
Our league is on CBSSports.com, which is the site used to run the NFL.com gametrackers and uses the official statistics for each game. So I would go with any league on cbssports.com when it comes to a scoring question over yahoo or whatever.
