Holy crap the NFL has some insane rules

The Colts punted, and one of their players touched the ball first. The ball was going into the end zone and he knocked back in. Now the Jaguars player tried grabbing it and ended up fumbling the football. Apparently the rule is there's no way the jaguars player can fumble the ball since it was first touched by a Colt. WTF kinda shite is that? Am I wrong here?

yeah, once the team punting touches it, it doesnt matter what happens, its the one time you can turn the ball over and it wont count.
It's like a deadball, but Receiving team has a chance to advance the ball, but they cannot be punished by any negative plays.

That is football.
If the kicking team touches the ball first, there is no way they can get the ball until the returner gets full control.

This is one of those "little known rules" my Dad always told me about but I never saw in action.

It's called first touching

If that wasnt the rule the punt team could just slap the ball off a member of the return team and recover it...

so you don't know how downed punts work? if this wasn't the rule you could just tap the ball and bounce it off opposing players and scoop it up.
