CBS glitch on N.E. D/ST TD? (1 Viewer)

Something I'm missing? It appears that CBS is only giving the Pats ONE D/ST touchdown. Are other sites experiencing the same glitch or scoring this similarly?

Edelman is only credited with a rec TD in Yahoo and MFL. Not a league issue in those two, just a site issue.

Appreciate the feedback. Hoping CBS makes the correction. The commish in this league is a bit lazy about making manual changes. Thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving.

Edelman is credited with a 1 Receiving TD and 1 Defensive Fumble Recovery TD on MFL. If you aren't seeing that on MFL then your league probably doesn't give WRs points for Defensive Fumble Recovery TDs.Edelman, Julian NEP WR

The Kick off team isn't part of D/ST.
Really? If they're not considered ST, then wouldn't they have to be D? Regardless, the 6 is in the boxscore and should be credited to SOMEONE?
It's credited to the guy who scores the TD, but not the Def-ST. I've been through this before with ESPN. They don't consider the kicking team to be part of Def-ST. I lost my week 7 game because of it.

Seems like nonsense. So unless you're in an IDP league and happened to own the person on the kickoff group that recovered the fumble and ran it in, the 6 pts. in the boxscore go up in smoke?
 
Make matters worse i commish a league with seperate D and ST. Already getting texts.... This is going to be a fiasco

I could be mistaken but I believe that once the receiving team gains possession they are considered the offense and the other team the D.Can anyone confirm or show otherwise?
Ummmmm....So lets break this downD = DefenseST = Special TeamsSo what is special teams?Punting, Field Goal, Kick Off, Kick off Return, Punt ReturnSo thus the kick off team would be apart of D/STNow if your league is Defense ONLY and does not include anything to do with special teams this would be the case that the touchdown wouldn't count as its on Special Teams. If it says D/ST then you should get credit.

If it were a private league the commish needs to step in on this, if he didn't I would elect to have him removed right away from the league. Even if I was the winning team that week I would push for it to be fixed.As far as ESPN you can see why they are a huge joke then I guess. In that case though E-Man would need to get credit on ESPN in that case. Luckily I only do MFL and Fleaflicker both of which gave the Pats D/ST credit for it.
 
In a related note, our league is discussing this to alter our scoring rules to give Edelman 12 points for 2 touchdowns in tonight's game, since he scored 2 touchdowns. It's a scoring rule error if he only gets credit for 1 touchdown, imo.

Same deal over on ESPN, as General Tso and others have touched on. ESPN did originally credit the Pats D/ST with the touchdown and it stood for a few minutes. Then randomly they took it away. Makes absolutely zero sense. You get a touchdown on a kick return if someone on your special teams returns a kick for a touchdown. This shouldn't be any different. For some silly reason, it is.My advice: leave it as is unless you personally stated in the rules before hand that ALL touchdowns that occur on a specials teams play are awarded to special teams, regardless of how the score comes. I had the Pats defense and I'm the commissioner in my league, so my phone isn't exactly blowing up with angry text messages right now. I'm just going to elect to take the high road here and say that while ESPN is idiotic for not giving me those points, I'm not going to step on people's toes by changing the score in a cheap league. The game looks like it'll be close and I may even lose because of this, but so it goes.
 
CBS and ESPN = only give 1 TD to Patriots D/ST

MLF and Yahoo = 2 TD to Patriots D/ST

MLF and Yahoo win a turducken for not being a crappy service.

 
ESPN has done things such as this before, adding/subtracting sucks or fumbles or etc from defenses, only to add them the next day. I would expect in the next day or two that the change is made, most likely be the time you check your team tomorrow.

 
Could someone please confirm as I was on the road when te plays in question went down:

If a league has seperate DEF and ST there should be one TD credited to each?

ESPN hasn't given the points to Edelmann or the Pat's Def/ST. Edelmann has 11.7. 64 yards rec, 3 yards rushing, 1 rec TD, 1 fumble. Both should get the points for the TD. Just like when you take a guy that returns punts and plays on offense, you get the Spec Teams points and the individual points.

I disagree, but of course that's according to each league. In both of mine, one RTSports and the other NFL, NE D/ST got the td's and Edelman only got one. Interestingly enough, in RTSPorts they gave him a fumble recovery to cancel out the fumble lost. We don't look at those in the other league.

Really depends on your individual league and how you have the different units defined. In my league that uses ST, it is defined as a return unit that only gets points for kick and punt returns and TDs. It is not a kick coverage unit, so they wouldn't get points for it. But Edelman would as an individual because we give individuals points for anything they do other than kickoff/punt returns yards and TDs.

Yes. Edelman's TD took place on a Special Teams play. (Even though he was playing defense at the time, it's still considered to be a "Special Teams Play" because the ball had been kicked.)But like Greg Russell pointed out, your particular fantasy league may not treat it as a ST play.
 
Has anyone contacted Yahoo to see why they have not credited him with a second score.

This is probably not a league issue as it is just like a kicker scoring a TD, not normal but still counts.

In my Yahoo league, Edelman is credited with a "Defensive Touchdown" [sic] (6 points). But it's not listed as a "Return Touchdown". So it looks like Yahoo considers Edelman to be a regular defensive player on the play (as if he intercepted a pass or something).Therefore, you're not going to get points from Yahoo unless you set up your league to count Defensive scores for individual players.
 
For CBS..if you want the answer...read the fine print below your reserves when you open live scoring. ST fumbled recoveries for TDs do not score live.

Exactly.... That is a DST score. You can't double dip if you play team DST on something like that. :lmao:
