I thought that he was the one that fumbled when JJ ran back that touchdown. On the ESPN recap it said Luck fumble (aborted). Not sure what that means, but I'm guessing it means that he doesn't lose two points.

Why would you think that? He fumbled.

Because this morning it doesn't show up on his total points on the espn app. I didn't know if there was some technicality if it was considered a fumbled snap or a fumbled handoff instead of a straight up fumble (and I didn't see the beginning of that play so I don't know what exactly happened).

Ah, I just watched it. He was in the shotgun and the snap just sort of hit his hands and bounced off. Maybe under those circumstances he doesn't have a fumble counted against him.

Lost 2pts as of now in Yahoo leagues. BS in my opinion. He never had possession of the ball. Center snapped it late and hit Luck in the shoulder and bounced off. Hoping Yahoo corrects it.

He took his eyes off the ball to look at the clock. The ball hit him in the hands.

Does a WR get credited with a drop if he takes his eyes off a ball that hits his hands?
Does a RB get credited with the fumble on a toss if it hits his hands and he lets it fall? (I don't know, but it should be on him, not the QB)

That shits a fumble.

Eta: looking it up I think it's technically a muff. Which would be credited to the QB the same as it is a return man.

wut?

1st - if you play in a league that docks points from WRs and RBs that drop passes, then thats gotta be pretty entertaining...

2nd - the Rules of a fumble are that the player must be in control... I am not saying that he's not at fault in the play, I am saying that docking it as a fumble its interesting... Do you dock it if sails over his head and the qb is the one who lands on it?

Well in that case he didn't lose the fumble, so no points would be lost.

Anyway I edited to add that I think it's technically a muff. Don't return men get docked points for a muff? This should be the same as that.
