    Moddy's right on that one, and it seems to be the one place in a scoring summary where you may have to "free-form" a little bit in order to explain the safety. Just make the explanation as quick and concise as possible.

    If you have the names available, use them. If an individual player makes the tackle, he's credited with two points in the team scoring stats, I believe.

    State U: Safety, Johnson tackled in end zone by Smith.

    Moddy is right. How AP did it in the Broncos-Raiders game:

    Oak—Safety, Cutler sacked by Warren in end zone, 14:15.
