This is Mock's extremely loose interpretation of the safety rule. My understanding of it was that when the rule was put in (after Mock's bitching 5 years ago), if a defensive player sacked the QB in the endzone, it was +2 points, as the box score would indicate. Brooks was sacked in the field of play, fumbled and the ball was touched by someone else and eventually went out of bounds. This smacked of desperation from Mock when he first brought it up, but I was going to wait and see what others thought. While Simeon got the sack, he didn't cause the safety, Brooks geeked out. If Simeon recovered the ball in the endzone, it would have been 12 points. Bottom line: Box scores credit safeties and I don't see S. Rice anywhere to be found. I'm all for slightly bending the rules, but this is a bit of a stretch.
