The Jon Kitna play yesterday when he caught his own pass made me think. I got points for the reception in my league. If he would've ran it in for a touchdown, would you get points for a receiving touchdown AND passing touchdown? Also, has a QB ever thrown a touchdown pass to himself?

Brad Johnson

Depends what your league rules say, but in my league(s), yes you would get credit for the receiving TD and the pass TD. It counts as a completed pass, so if your league awards ppr, Kitna should have gotten credit for it. Drew Brees caught his own pass in week 1. And Brad Johnson a few years ago with Minnesota caught his own pass for a TD on teh 1 yard line. I know it has been done before as well (Boomer Esiason? Steve McNair?).

Brad Johnson

And yes, in most leagues he received points for a passing TD, a receiving TD and the yards.

Brad Johnson

This is the correct answer. And, uh...yeah. He gets credit for both.

Didn't Steve Young throw one to himself before? I'm not positive, but I thought he did.

Brett Favre's first completion in the NFL was on a pass to himself.
