Redskins4ever Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That particular statistic is for the offense. Either they make it or they don't. On a 2 point conversion, the idea is to get the ball into the endzone. If they call a pass and it's picked by a defender, then it's not an interception because it's a conversion attempt, not 1st down, 2nd down, 3rd down, 4th down, etc. Only on a down play would it be a turnover.

Taylor 36 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It doesn't count because an int. on a 2 point conversion does not equate to a change of possesion for the simple fact that the opposing team would get the ball back anyway, regardless if the 2 pt conversion was successful or not.Does that clarify it?

TotalRecall Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I was looking at the stats from this weekends game against AZ and I do not see where anyone was credited with an INT on the two point conversion that was stopped? Why does this not go into a players stats? The commentators were calling it an interception. No INT. Ball is dead on change of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalRecall Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 So, this is the same on an extra point too right? If I remember correctly, a blocked extra point can be returned for a 2-point conversion. However, a 2-point conversion try can not be returned by the defense. Seems kind of a stupid rule to me. EDIT...checked it out and ball is dead on blocked extra point. They should do like college 1-point for defense on returned score from blocked PAT and 2-points for defense on returned score from turnover on 2-point conversion try.

However, a 2-point conversion try can not be returned by the defense. Seems kind of a stupid rule to me. A blocked extra point is dead after the block, you can't return it or an intercepted 2 pt conversion for anything. If the Offense does not convert, the play is over, there is no chance for the defense to score on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tone_dubbz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 yes, he did intercept it; however, it does not go down as an interception for the same reason that a reception on a 2pt conversion does not go down as a TD. it's just the way the stats work. as soon as the defender "intercepts" it, the conversion attempt fails, it's just an incomplete pass. I don't think they even counted that as an incomplete pass. I think its just a failed conversion, thats it. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering because Sean Taylor slapped the ball away after the point was blocked instead of getting up and trying to run it back. I assumed he was doing the right thing but just needed some clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, for MOST of his playing days there wasn't even a 2 point. In pro - It's dead. In college, it can be returned for 2 point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Kids, you can definitely return an int to the house for two points.Darrell Green did it, who does not remember that... Anybody who watched DG play would not remember that except if they dreamed it. The NFL did not even have 2 point conversions until 1994! Here is the official NFL rules concerning conversions: Try After a touchdown, the scoring team is allowed a try during one scrimmage down. The ball may be spotted anywhere between the inbounds lines, two or more yards from the goal line. The successful conversion counts one point by kick; two points for a successful conversion by touchdown; or one point for a safety. The defensive team never can score on a try. As soon as defense gets possession or the kick is blocked or a touchdown is not scored, the try is over. Any distance penalty for fouls committed by the defense that prevent the try from being attempted can be enforced on the succeeding try or succeeding kickoff. Any foul committed on a successful try will result in a distance penalty being assessed on the ensuing kickoff. Only the fumbling player can recover and advance a fumble during a try.
