2008 NFL Scoring Changes & Statistical Corrections

All times Eastern

Note: By the time a correction is posted below, the corresponding stats files have been corrected and re-issued on the system.  The date & time shown indicate when the correction was made.  If the change affects your scoring and the change was made after you last downloaded that week's stats, you may want to consider re-downloading that week's stats and recalculating your results.

Policy notice. 

After the injury reports are released on Wednesday each week, the previous week's stats will not be modified.  Any scoring changes that we become aware of for previous weeks will still be reported here, but our downloadable online stats will not be amended or re-posted.  Any changes that occur prior to the release of the next week's injury report each Wednesday night will be corrected in the stats and the updated stats will be re-issued, just as in the past.

Week 9

Week 9 & Year-to-date stats have been reposted.  (posted Wednesday, November 5, 8:00 p.m.) 

Washington 9018 - The NFL play-by-play incorrectly credited Pittsburgh with a 5-yard offensive penalty instead of a 5-yard sack by the Redskins.  The 3rd-and-4 play was NOT an accepted penalty, but rather, the Redskins declined it and accepted the sack instead, making it 4th down.  Otherwise, why would the Steelers have punted on 3rd down?  This occurred late in the 4th quarter.


Pittsburgh Steelers at 3:39

1-10-PIT 26 (3:39) W.Parker right tackle to PIT 27 for 1 yard (K.Golston, L.Fletcher).

2-9-PIT 27 (2:57) W.Parker right tackle to PIT 27 for no gain (L.Fletcher, C.Griffin).

Timeout #3 by WAS at 02:50.

3-9-PIT 27 (2:50) (Shotgun) B.Leftwich pass incomplete deep left to N.Washington [L.Landry].

PENALTY on WAS-K.Golston, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at PIT 27 - No Play.

3-4-PIT 32 (2:45) (Shotgun) B.Leftwich sacked at PIT 27 for -5 yards (sack split by D.Evans and R.McIntosh).

PENALTY on PIT, Illegal Formation, 5 yards, enforced at PIT 32 - No Play. Six men on the line

3-9-PIT 27 (2:39) M.Berger punts 48 yards to WAS 25, Center-J.Retkofsky. A.Randle El pushed ob at WAS 30 for 5 yards (An.Smith).
