Drew Brees threw a pass that was intercepted by K. Moore of the Redskins. Moore returned the ball to the Washington 44, where he was stripped of the ball by Robert Meachem, who then ran for the touchdown.
Per our policy regarding these types of plays, this is an offensive fumble recovery touchdown for Meachem and NOT a defensive fumble recovery touchdown for the Saints. The intent of having a defensive unit on a fantasy team is to own the defensive players of that team; clearly the Saints defensive unit was never on the field at any time during the play.
Like I explained in a previous thread, the scoring may not directly reflect the intentions on why you had the Saints' defense on your team, but at the end of the day, we cant "officially" change the way the NFL scores a game. You do have the options at your hand to change your past box score if you wish to change it and your league agrees on doing so.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Sounds like you guys need to take away that TD

I believe the Flea will get the TD in sync with how the NFL, and their official stats provider, rules the play.
However it is finally ruled, some leagues will need to adjust their rules to adjust for the TD to keep in the spirit of thier league's scoring intent.
