    When Luck picked up the fumble and scored yesterday, I was confused. I thought the rule was that a player could recover the fumble but not advance it?

    I believe that only applies in the closing minutes of either half...not sure what the number is, 2 min, 5 min, something like that.

    Yup, according to the rules, even if he had fumbled it into the end zone it would have counted.
