Why wasn't Reggie Bush on the Sidelines??? [Edit: Payton Says Bush Was At Game]

They have to be counted as receptions since his detractors simply don't buy the concept of "extended hand off" and still claim he's a liability in the run game. So the fact remains that he was leading the league in TDs and receptions at the time of his injury.
So you can have it both ways. Gotcha.
