[net.sport.football] Fumbles through the endzone

halle1@houxz.UUCP (J.HALLE) (12/16/83)

Why not just apply the existing rule for fumbles into the endzone,
ie ball placed at the point of fumble.
(Remember the play that caused this rule?  It used to be a TD if the
offense recovered the fumble in the endzone.  It still is if the fumbler
recovers it himself.)

The rule of the player who first fumbled must recover only applies in
the last two minutes of each half (or maybe just the end of the
game).
