What happens if a ball is fumbled out of the endzone?
If a ball is fumbled in a team’s own end zone or in the field of play and goes out of bounds in the end zone, it is a safety, if that team provided the impetus that sent the ball into the end zone (See 11-5-1 for exception for momentum). If the impetus was provided by the opponent, it is a touchback.
Can you recover a fumble in the end zone?
No one recovers it, yet the ball suddenly belongs to the defense, since the rules state that a fumble that goes out of the end zone without being recovered by the offense results in a touchback for the opposing team.
What happens if the ball is intercepted in the end zone?
If a player of the team which intercepts, catches, or recovers the ball commits a live-ball foul in the end zone, it is a safety. If a player who intercepts, catches, or recovers the ball throws a completed illegal forward pass from the end zone, the ball remains alive.

What happens if the football touches the end zone?

Why does the clock not stop when a player goes out of bounds?
