MOTHER BEVERLY! I had Jasmine's Necklace by the throat, and then lost due to the pick-6 by the Jets defense.
Totally as an aside - did we intend for an interception for a touchdown to be worth so many points? It don't have any quarrel with the award for six points for a touchdown, but the defense gets two points for the INT AND six points for the touchdown. It wouldn't have made a difference in the final outcome of my game - the six points for the TD is what swung the score. 8 points for one play just seems like a lot.
You may have had me by the throat, but admit it, your eyes were just a little bit south of there, weren't they?
Heck, I was as surprised as anyone this morning when I checked the scores. Being down by two points going into Monday night with just my defense left to play and seeing that I eeked out a win.

I think 8 points for a pick 6 is about right. Like Andy said, a receiver gets 1 pt for a catch, 6 for the TD, plus whatever yardage the play covered. Scoring on an INT should count for roughly the same. (And yes, I'd say that even if I lost on a pick 6)
