I was under the impression that you couldn't have a forward fumble with a recovery by the same team. Isn't the rule that if the same team that fumbles it recovers it, it goes back to the spot of the fumble, unless recovered by the ball carrier that fumbled the ball?
Or is that only in college?

Only on 4th down in both NFL and NCAA.
In the NFL, if a player fumbles the ball forward and it goes out of bounds unrecovered, it goes back to the spot of the fumble regardless of down.
