Charles Woodson punt-return fumble (1 Viewer)

[Weiner Dog]

Yup, I'm scraping for my Super Bowl life. Charles Woodson fumbled a punt return on Sun. The fumble shows in both the "game stats" and "full play-by-play". However, it does not show in the "gamebook". If this fumble is counted, I win by one point.

Looks like the penalty wiped out the play. I see it was enforced from where Woodson received punt.

The penalty did not wipe out the play. Woodson was credited with the 14-yard return...even in the GAMEBOOK.

If Detroit had not fumbled the ball back it would have counted as they would have declined the penalty, howver since they fumbled the ball back to GB they had to option of giving them the ball where the new fumble was recovered or 10 yards behind where the ball was when the illegal block occurred. Detroit accepted the penalty which then eliminated the fumble as the play stopped there and the ball was moved back 10 yards.

Great explanation!That was (unfortunately) what I was looking for.

Agreed...you deserve the "W". You fielded a top-shelf team all year.The dynasty will be re-ignited in '07.

WD I thought you said the penalty didn't wipe out the play.

I thought you were implying the down was replayed. Thanks for the help.
