What about the defensive TD?

All day I've been hearing about how the officials got the call wrong at the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

I've also heard about how the call kept the 11-10 final in tact, the first such score in league history.

I've also heard about how Vegas profited from the bad call.

I've yet to hear about how fantasy owners won or lost based on the bogus ruling.

If you started the Steelers defense, you lost a touchdown at the end of the game.

In individual defensive player leagues, a touchdown was taken away from Troy Polamalu.

And, in some circles, leagues award points based on the score. So, if your opponent for the week started the Chargers defense, the Chargers defense was credited with allowing 11 points instead of 17 or 18.

Thank you, officials, for ruining leagues with this one.
