Anyone get to see this? I was watching the game on gamecast. I had to do a double take. Expected to see the score 14-14. Next thing I knew it was 13-16.

Wow! What will see next -- a one-point safety? This will totally screw up by coveted NFL database I've been maintaining for 15 years. I don't have any coding for this event, because I never knew such an event was possible. I would have thought what happened resulted in a touchdown.

The question for the poll is what do you think about it?

I see that Yahoo is coding this as a PAT Return.

If this happened in the Super Bowl, I could see a lot of disputes on props it potentially effects.

I think that was a new rule just implemented this season.

The Play was amazing no doubt about it. Was the question at hand whether or not it should be Td or safety?

. . . the game still lands on 3.

Been in college for as long as I can remember, any sportsbook should already have it in their rules on how to grade it for prop bets

Yep, and took this long to actually matter.

Last football game I went to, Northwestern at Notre Dame (Nov. 2014), NW scored a defensive conversion for 2 pts in the first half and won in OT. Commented that I'm shocked that I saw one live, and we left early...oops!!

No way it can be considered a safety. That it is 2 points is just a coincidence.
The Dice, the cards, they not only have no sense of justice but are seemingly endowed with a sense of cruel irony. This devolves from the 'nature of random'. Ironically, don't you see.

The NFL rules, like the NCAA rules that allow the same thing, consider a defensive 2-point return the same as what you would call it had the offense scored 2 points - a touchdown.

Note that an actual safety on an extra point attempt is worth 1 point. 1-point Safeties are more likely now that the defense can return the ball; for example, if a defensive player intercepts a pass on the 1-yard line, then runs into his own end zone and is tackled there.

Quote: NFL Rule 11-1-2


TYPES OF SCORING PLAYS. Points are scored as follows:
(d) Try after touchdown: 1 point (Field Goal or Safety) or 2 points (Touchdown)


Quote: NCAA Football Rule 8-1-1


The point value of scoring plays shall be:
Successful Try:
Touchdown — 2 Points
Field Goal or Safety — 1 Point

If so, would that have been a touchdown last season?
