A blocked extra point attempt that is subsequently returned by the defensive team is not considered a touchdown because the play is classified as a continuation of the extra point attempt rather than a new play. In this scenario, the defensive team can only score two points by successfully returning the blocked kick to their end zone, not a touchdown. A touchdown can only be scored during a regular play, while an extra point attempt is a separate situation with its own scoring rules.
In his career, Troy Polamalu has returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the regular season and one in the postseason.
No. This would be considered a special teams TD similar to a kickoff return for a TD or punt return for a TD.
