What we’re scoring
New omitted clause reviewed against the captured original. Preserve the original meaning and qualifiers without inventing a threshold.
The ruling
The official September 13 gamebook records the Jets winning 23-10. Jason Sanders handled every Jets field-goal and extra-point attempt; Grupe is listed inactive. The captured opening article explicitly asks who will be the opening-day kicker. Fine is the qualitative rationale for the same projected role, not an extra score.

Later repeat of the September 5 opening-kicker choice, distinct from acquisition of a waived kicker.
