Atlanta wide receiver fumbled the ball over the pylon which is the same as fumbling the ball out of the endzone. Isn't that supposed to result in some kind of points for the other team? Not sure of the rule on this.

No it’s a fumble out of the end zone.

On a regular play, it’s a touchback.

On a conversion, it’s just no good.

If they were going for the TD, it would be a touchback to the defense. On 2 pt, it's just a missed attempt

If he had fumbled it out of his own end zone it would be a one point safety.

Why would this scenario (fumbling out of the opponent’s end zone) result in points for the defense? Try to think critically.

The better question is how did the fricking ref staring at the play within arms reach call it a TD when the fricker clearly threw it at the pylon?

It's supposed to be a .5 point penalty, comes off of the offending team score.

Why do you think the line is so frequently in increments of .5 points? Duh.

The bigger question is how in the hell did the ref call it good when he was looking right at it from 4 ft away!!!! The receiver relinquished control of the ball with BOTH hands before it contacted the pylon!!!! SMH

I believe what your thinking of is the obscure 1 point safety. That would occur if the defense recovers the ball on a conversion and ends up losing ground and being tackled for a safety. In that case it is ruled a 1 point safety.

Should have been a 69 second runoff and Saints are awarded 4 points and possession.
