re: Fumble on punt return

If Snead recovered it and the Giants stripped the ball again, it would have been their ball (less 15 yards for facemask).

The play is over once snead recovers it.

It becomes a dead ball, but a PF is still enforceable

Here you go:

Although the ball was dead the moment Snead recovered it -- when a player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball -- former NFL head of officials and Fox analyst Mike Pereira said on the postgame broadcast that personal fouls are "still added on even beyond where the ball became dead by rule."

He added, "In the end, they got the enforcement of it right and the face-mask call right."
