Defensive scoring - Week 5 (1 Viewer)

[Ice Cream Man]

Was wondering whether anyone else noticed that Sean Weatherspoon and Shaun Phillips were both credited with a forced fumble in their games, and then later the scoring was changed. Did anyone watch those games -- this sort of scoring correction doesn't seem to be very common.

Also, I was watching the Green Bay game and it looked like Matthews had at least 2.5 sacks, and was credited with only 1.5.

What happened on the play where McNabb lost 22 yards on a fumble? Why wasn't that a sack? (just saw the writeup, didn't see the play).

Exactly. There was a bad snap over the head of the qb, forcing McNabb to go back 15 yards to pick up the ball. Matthews then crushed him. I don't know why that wasn't a sack.I saw at least 4 sack plays involving Matthews. One was nullified by penalty, but he should be at 2.5 sacks, at least. Maybe there's a rule I'm missing.

On the play where there was a bad snap and Matthews tackled McNabb for a large loss, the scorekeepers ruled that play an "aborted play" thereby negating Matthews sack.

On plays like that scorekeepers either don't credit anyone with a tackle or simply give the player that touches the offensive player down a solo tackle.

and if the QB is in what the scorekeeper decides is a planned running play, it doesn't count as a sack -> if he's tackled behind the line (failed QB sneaks, QB keepers, etc)
