AFL corrects score - Week 3
New York, NY (Sports Network) - The Arena Football League announced on Monday that the final score of yesterday's contest between the Chicago Rush and Colorado Crush at the Pepsi Center was a 51-48 Chicago triumph, rather than the 49-48 total that was widely reported.
The game officials correctly ruled that the game's final play resulted in a safety worth two points for Chicago, which was leading 49-48 at the time. However, a miscommunication between the game officials and the statistician led to an inaccurate statistical report, which produced the 49-48 score instead of the correct 51-48 result. Chicago, which leads the Central Division, improved to 2-1 with the victory, while the Crush fell to 1-2.
