So last week Brees threw 2 interceptions ... the one that was caught by Bradberry and another on the 2 point conversion attempt that got returned for points by the Panthers. But when I look at the player stats and totals I only see that one interception was tallied for Brees.

And I think I have seen this oddity before in other situations. Why do none of the stats on two point conversion seem to get included into player totals? Is this some obscure NFL or football scoring rule?

Per the NFL Guide for Statisticians (page 36):

"No rushing, passing, receiving, interception, fumble or sack statistics shall be credited during an extra-point attempt."
