Searching for the infamous 1 point NFL score. While none of these interceptions got too close to having that even rarer score, the play starting at 1:00 seems to get closest (because the kicking team had a guy physically close to the returner). The next most interesting would be the play at 2:25, because the returner, while not SO close to the endzone, only nearly escaped being tackled (at around the 47 yd line, but still-thats far downfield). Very surprised that this play has happened so often!
It's funny to me that twice CBS put two points on the board and lit up a "safety" graphic. Maybe that's just the default button for a two-point score (that's not an offensive conversion).
I never heard of such a thing until last night in the game involving the team from a place called Washington supposedly playing on the road in a different Washington but actually not in Washington.
iirc the rule had just changed that season and this was the first (or nearly the first) time it had ever happened in the nfl the TV studios had probably not prepared anything for this circumstance and the only "2 point score" button to push was "safety" like the commenter before me said
@@davidbrandel1311 I believe they banned it for player safety reasons. The lineman can get landed on or the leaper can get undercut and land awkwardly on their head or some other bad outcome.
I didn't know that was possible, much less it had happened so many times and often in close games. Does anyone ever go into a victory formation on an extra point rather than risk a defensive score?
The Vikings did after the Minneapolis Miracle, and following that season the NFL removed the PAT attempt at the end of the game if the offense doesn't need any more points because the refs could barely get both teams back on the field after that play
@@Sixsince-dd2eu yes, a good example was 2021 season 56 Vikings @ Lions, Lions scored a last-second touchdown, down by 4. Game was 0:00 after the play and the game was declared over. No kick was attempted. I agree with this rule and your logic about trying to clear the field makes sense
So if the returner goes out of bounds at the one yard line then the opponent would get to kick off as though the play never happened? The defending team wouldn't get 1st & goal at the 1 like a normal turnover? I only just found out today (SEA vs WSH MNF) that this could even happen. 😲
Yeah, the conversion is a "self contained" play, all or nothing. For years, once the conversion attempt failed, even if it was intercepted, the play was dead. But this rule, where you can return the ball for 2-points, has been the college rule for a long time.
Yeah, if they got 1st and goal, literally every team would intentionally run out of bounds at the 1. Rather than the free 2 points, they'd get 4 downs for a touchdown attempt. And even if that fails, a field goal on 4th is 3 points.
Hi there, can someone please tell me why these are all only worth 2 points instead of being considered a touchdown? If the team is kicking the ball and it gets blocked and picked up by the other team...would it not be a touchdown? What exactly is happening here?
All of these plays happen right after a touchdown is scored, also known as a PAT (point after attempt). If the offense elects to go for a 2-pt conversion and converts it, the offense gets two points. Theoretically, a team could run a fake field goal during the PAT and get 2 points (although that’s unlikely with the kick being pushed back years go). So, if a field goal (extra point attempt, specially) gets blocked or a 2-pt conversion attempt is taken back and scored by the defense, it is 2 points for the defense. The main reason is that these plays all occur on point-after-touchdown attempt.
@@MattCProductions_ I see, thanks. I kind of wonder why they made a rule specific to these plays. Is it somehow easier to get blocks/turnovers in this situation?
I'm trying to figure out if more of these happened after a PAT attempt or a 2 point conversion attempt. Here 5 of them were after a PAT and 5 of them were after a 2PC, but this has happened more than 10 times according to bing chat ai.
As of 12/3/23, there have been 12 defensive 2 pt conversions with 7/12 being blocked PAT’s. I just realized now that I missed Walt Aikens blocked pat conversion from a 2016 MIA ARI game (oops).
A pick six is when the defense intercepts a pass and takes it into the endzone for a touchdown (6 points). A "pick two," which is shown by some of these clips, is when the defense intercepts a pass on a two-point conversion attempt and takes it into the endzone (2 points). So, a pick six occurs during a normal play, a pick two occurs during a 2 point conversion attempt after a touchdown is scored.
What if there was a turnover or block on a PAT, and the other team was returning the ball, and the stopped short of the end zone and drop kicked it through the uprights on the other side. Would they get 1 point for that?
great rule change, allowing points for blocked PAT and 2PC.
It makes the game more interesting, and makes players on special teams more valuable.
This has long been the rule in college, great to see that the NFL finally adopted it. Now to wait for the elusive 1-point safety...
I love how a few of these happened during tight games and actually could have had an outcome on the final result
1:00 can we just appreciate Thomas Morstead's (#6) attempt to catch the returner. That man right there is a punter

I noticed that too. It makes someone at CBS look really inept.
That Heyward pick had some really impressive tackle breaking.

0:59 lmaoooo number 11 and the coach are like here we go again 🙄
0:50 lol it said safety and not 2pt-conversion
the guy running the scoreboard had no idea what button to press so he just pressed safety
iirc the rule had just changed that season and this was the first (or nearly the first) time it had ever happened in the nfl

1:01 How was that not a leaping penalty?
They banned leaping after that season, so it was legal at the time.
@@MattCProductions_ why did they ban leaping?
@@davidbrandel1311 I believe they banned it for player safety reasons. The lineman can get landed on or the leaper can get undercut and land awkwardly on their head or some other bad outcome.
Because that's not a penalty?
@@TheCandoRailfan they changed it starting the 2017 season

Funny that the Saints were in this unusual play few times
Didn’t these used to be counted as touchdowns?
1:22 huge mistake, gotta watch for the pick here.

Why does CBS use wrong graphics? It's not a safety.
Because they probably didn't have a graphic for something that's 100 times more rare than a safety
@@tdz_904 Yet they always did before.
0:56 that was not a safety
1:54 that is cute 😻
So what’s a pick six.
A pick six is when the defense intercepts a pass and takes it into the endzone for a touchdown (6 points). A "pick two," which is shown by some of these clips, is when the defense intercepts a pass on a two-point conversion attempt and takes it into the endzone (2 points). So, a pick six occurs during a normal play, a pick two occurs during a 2 point conversion attempt after a touchdown is scored.
Did Chiefs win against ATL. Hell of an ending if so
How many people looking into this for Scorigami purposes?
I bet most of the people watched this after looking up 2pt Return on fantasy scoring lol
What if there was a turnover or block on a PAT, and the other team was returning the ball, and the stopped short of the end zone and drop kicked it through the uprights on the other side. Would they get 1 point for that?
That would be an illegal kick in the NFL
