I'll collect now, Tankerbelle.  That would be Fred Dyer, DE, of the LA Rams, who sacked Packers QBs (Hunter, DelGaizo) twice for safeties on October 21, 1973.

Wrong.

The player has to score 4 points, not be responsible for 4 points.

What?

When you score a safety, you get the points.  Pay up, welsher.

What?

Its like basketball.

Say, Kobe makes a 3 and also gets a free throw for getting fouled by LeBron while he shot the ball. He drains the free throw. Kobe is credited with 4 points, not LeBron.

See above.

Actually, it's happened more than once, Tankerbelle.  John Anderson of the Packers did it against the Jets on November 4, 1979, kicking a FG and a PAT.  Ted Thompson (yes, our Ted Thompson) did it as a Houston Oiler on November 23, 1980 in a 28-31 loss to the Jets, kicking four PATs.

You can pay me now, Tankerbelle.

No, it's not. Pro football stats credit him with four points in that game. Hunter and DelGaizo didn't score them, moron.

This is good...

What part of "non-specialist" dont u understand?

If you kick a fg, you are a specialist, even if you're just filling in for a kicker.

They're linebackers, not specialists, moron. Specialists aren't position players. I've fulfilled the obligations, three times over Tankerbelle.

Here are a whole host of players who scored two, 2-pt. conversions in one game.

Wrong again.

Since you kept answering the question wrong, I'll give you another hint:

When the player in question scored 4 points in a game, it occurred some time between 1992 and 2008.

Since nobody here will ever be able to understand the parameters of you question, could you just give us the answer and explain how that person scored 4 points?
