re: On the Atlanta 2-point try that was overturned

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

Thank GOD!

This was it. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember what it was.

I knew there was some kind of weird unfolding of events that would cause point(s) to be awarded outside of the norm.

Does anyone know if this has ever happened in an NFL game? I want to say it was explained in a game and that's where I remember it from so I'm wondering if it actually happened in that game or if they were maybe just explaining the rules for 2-point conversions. My memory on it is really fuzzy
