It does “feel” wrong that in all other circumstances where a player fumbles the ball forward and it goes out of bounds, the ball is returned to the spot of the fumble. Yet this one results in a turnover. Yet at the same time, fumbling through the end zone has always carried with it this penalty. I like keeping it as is, but I definitely understand the argument.


I see your line of thinking, but the end zone IS different from the field of play - teams are rewarded with points for advancing the ball into it or penalized for getting tackled in it by giving points to the other team.

Ultimately we both agree the rule needs to stay as is.

Would someone entertain 1 point to the offense and followed by a kickoff like any other offensive score?
