J Goff stat correction impacted playoff game (1 Viewer)

Our league just realized that the NFL changed the J Goff interception to fumble.  We have -1 for INTs and -2 for lost fumbles so the J Goff team lost 1 point which changed the result from them winning and in the championship to a loss.  One of the worst bad beats in league 28 years history. 

 
Brutal. I must say, I've never understood why leagues score fumbles and INTs differently. They're both turnovers.

I suspect after today there is at least one owner in your league who agrees with me.

Because an INT could be the fault of the target and not the QB?

 
Because an O-lineman stripped their own player of the ball?
or missed a block that gave a rusher a free path to the QB with no opportunity to avoid.   It's a team game.  turnovers can be due to any number of reasons but they all result in the same thing.  Logically they should be scored the same.

Interesting. Had never thought of that. If that's the reason, it would be a rare case of fantasy trying to be closer to fair than actual football is. Normally it's the opposite (eg, guy runs for 60 yards and gets tackled at the one; fullback vultures the TD and gets credited with more fantasy points).

I remember watching a Lions game once where I had Stafford and he dropped a perfect ball into Megatron's breadbasket that would have almost certainly been a TD. Just as Johnson was getting his hands on it, he got hit by a DB, ball popped up in the air and was picked off. I remember thinking, "How is it possible that Stafford gets punished for that play and Johnson doesn't?"

Sounds like Stafford should have thrown it a second earlier or looked the DB off a tick longer! I’m sure this Johnson guy never amounted to anything if he’s that soft.

He hung around for a couple more years until he committed a ghastly fumble vs. Seattle that cost the Lions a win. By the following year he was out of football completely.

That fumble cost me a championship! Never forget.

Edit- maybe not a championship just a win against my arch rival which felt like it at the time. That was a bad beat.

Where you seeing this?  I didn't think corrections came out until Thurs morning.
Just google nfl stat corrections and all the ffl websites will show stat changes by week.  I know nfl reviews on tuesdays so I believe they make it public Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
