The hell? How is it a touchback if you fumble out the end zone you're defending?
Damn people
Damn people

if he had possession and fumbles out of the endzone what happens?
Seems like it would have to be both or none at all, he can't complete the catch AND not fumble out of the endzone...

Digest of Rules Main
Safety
The important factor in a safety is impetus. Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.
Examples of Safety:
(a) Blocked punt goes out of kicking team’s end zone. Impetus was provided by punting team. The block only changes direction of ball, not impetus.
(b) Ball carrier retreats from field of play into his own end zone and is downed. Ball carrier provides impetus.
(c) Offensive team commits a foul and spot of enforcement is behind its own goal line.
(d) Player on receiving team muffs punt and, trying to get ball, forces or illegally kicks (creating new impetus) it into end zone where it goes out of the end zone or is recovered by a member of the receiving team in the end zone.
Examples of Non-Safety:
(a) Player intercepts a pass with both feet inbounds in the field of play and his momentum carries him into his own end zone. Ball is put in play at spot of interception.
(b) Player intercepts a pass in his own end zone and is downed in the end zone, even after recovering in the end zone. Impetus came from passing team, not from defense. (Touchback)
(c) Player passes from behind his own goal line. Opponent bats down ball in end zone. (Incomplete pass)
That's all I got..

The same way it's a touchback if you run out of the back of the EZ you're defending.
I think.

how the frick was there not a flag for offsides there?

I think it fits better in the non-safety category.

I think it'd be a touchback cause he never came out of the end zone with the ball. But not 100% on that, just assuming how the rules would likely work.
