CBS Scoring Question (1 Viewer)

[Wilbur Wood]

For the past few years we used a 1 pt per "First Down Reception" for WRs and TEs in my CBS league that I run. The logic that it would not unduly reward short receptions that do not also move the chains. In past years the reception of a TD pass per the NFL stats has been curiously scored as a "first down recption" so WRs and TEs actually get 7 pts per TD catch. This has been okay as it serves to make the league less RB-centric (along with the using the Super Flex).

I haven't bothered to check the past several weeks, but have noticed today that CBS is not crediting TD catches as "First Down Receptions" to WRs (I went through the tedious exercise of reviewing the play-by-play logs of a couple games and saw that for the ones that I checked (Owens and Reggie Brown) that the TD catches were not getting the extra point awarded to them for "First down receptions".

Does any know if this is:

#1 Simply a CBS scoring glitch that will get "corrected" when the stat feed is official on Tuesday

#2 An NFL change in their stat policy that no longer awards a "first down" when a TD is scored (and I guess at least physically "moves the chains").

#3 Some other explanation?

Thanks
