If this has already been discussed in a another thread, I apologize in advance.
In this week's Seattle/Arizona shellacking, two TDs were not scored by the Seahawk offense, one was a pick six. The other occurred when the Seahawks punted to the Cards, Patrick Peterson muffed the catch, Seattle recovered and then ran it in for a score.
Our league gives six points for a Defensive Fumble recovered for a touchdown, but the site did not score it that way.
Should it have? The six points make the difference between a win and loss in a playoff matchup.

Depends on the specifics of your league rules and the way your commish set up scoring on your website. I assume your league rules aren't explicitly clear on this situation, and that your commish just let the website do its thing by default, so someone's going to be pissed. You could make an argument that it's a defensive TD and should be scored as such, despite the way the site handled it. You can also make an argument that when the rules are unclear, you default to the way the website handles it. I've seen both arguments made in these types of threads before and you're not going to get any kind of consensus agreement on it. It is a defensive TD, imo, and I'd score it as one in my league even if the website didn't do so. I think I've also read before that TDs of this nature aren't scored in real-time on some websites (like CBS, for example). I have no idea how long it takes them to update - I'd assume they would have done it by now - but you should at least consider the possibility that the website is supposed to score it as a defensive TD but just hasn't updated the scoring yet.
