Same thing happened in SD/Mia earlier in the year (week 3?) when Pennington fumbled. I think if you polled the league it would be evenly split on whether to count it or not - what defines a recovery. I had to be a d*** for about 2 weeks trying to finish a poll on whether to count it or not and the poll ended 5-4 in a 12 team league = no majority and no change and cost me a win
Because there was no recovery of the fumble. The box score does not credit the Colts defense with a Fumble Recovery, and the official gamebook only credits the Colts with 1 total Fumble Recovery (and that was an offensive lineman's recovery of a Peyton Manning fumble).There are several types of "possession changes" which typically do not score points for fantasy defenses (turnover on downs, safeties, onside kicks, etc.).
For the same reason that a fumble through the end zone is a touchback?Fwiw the refs completely blew that call. It shouldn't have been ruled a touchback because Antoine Bethea was touching the ball with half his body out of bounds before the other defender even had the opportunity to pick up the ball. The ball should have been dead at that spot with possession belonging to Houston.
