Week 14 SNAFU?

I just looked at the scores for the LV auction league a little closer. There was a game decided by .05 points.
Lumpy's Losers(156.75)
The Midway Bolts II(156.7)

In the interest of fairness...I looked at all of the starting players on the above teams and calculated their scores.

STATS has David Carr (starting QB for Lumpy's Losers) scoring 15.25 points (167 passing; 1 TD; 1 INT; 19 rushing).

After consulting with a few resources, it appears that David Carr lost a fumble in the game against the Colts.

IF this is true, STATS didn't subtract it and this would change the winner of the game, along with altering the scores of any Carr-starting owners.

Here are the links to the "fumble"...ESPN said it happened on 4th down and Yahoo says it happened on 3rd down? I didn't watch the game, so I'm not sure.

ESPN
ESPN - Carr Fumble
Houston at 3:18 IND HOU
4th and 10 at IND 32 Houston fumble by David Carr (HOU), recovered by Raheem Brock (IND), returned for no gain.

AND

Yahoo
Yahoo - Carr Fumble
Houston - 3:18
3rd-10, IND32 0:49 D. Carr rushed up the middle for no gain. D. Carr fumbled. R. Brock recovered fumble

Does STATS, Inc offer stats and play-by-play of each game for public review?

The fumble was attributed to S. McKinney on NFL.com

On fumbled snaps, the fumble is usually attributed to the Center, and that was the case here in the official record.
