So I just got the bad news this morning that a critical game I thought I won this week turned into a los due to a technicality. Thought I'd make you all aware of it in case you had some tight losses this year.
My opponent had Darren Sproles in his lineup, and Sproles fumbled a kick return Sunday night. My league doesn't count return yards or TD's scored on special teams by an invidual player, hence we don't believe turnovers should count either. As a result, my 2-point win is being reversed due to the wiping out of the fumble, and I lose the tiebreaker, which is total points on the bench.
We use CBS Sports, and according to CBS, the fumble was counted because it's how the NFL reports the stats. Their scoring tabulator sees "fumble by Sproles" in the box score, and counted it against him as an individual, as if it was a fumble on an offensive carry or a catch.
Sucks for me, because I drop to 5-5, and my next two opponents are scoring juggernauts.
