But possession also does not simply mean having the ball in your hands. If it did, knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands in the endzone would still result in a TD. And knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands anywhere else on the field would result in a fumble.


Using receiver catch rules to correlate to fumble recovery possession is pointless. Two completely different football actions. It’s why there’s different sections in the rulebook to establish each.

There are not two different sections of the rule book to establish each. I’ve posted the full rule like 6 times since last night.

The rules very clearly state that possession during a fumble recovery is governed by the same rules as possession during a catch.
