While scouting the UFA defenses for a potential 2012 Burner Def I decided to review the scoring rules. It occured to me that if the Jets make good on their desire to go for more 2 point conversions and that counted towards Jet Def scoring they could be a good choice. Rules state QB, RB, WR or whoever is involved with score gets some points but NYJ Def/spec team doesn't so no extra incentive to go for Jets (though they do have a nice defense!).

I did see this in the defensive scoring and am confused:


The following TD scores will NOT count against a Defenses Points Against: Interception Returns, Fumble Recoveries, and Safeties
[ in section 13A, last line]

I assumed that the final score determined how many points a defense received for scoring bonus but this sounds like it is final score minus points scored by interception returns, fumble recoveries and safeties.
