Reason: The player took possession in the end zone, and never possessed the ball outside of the end zone. Therefore, dropping to a knee in the end zone is a touchback.

### I hope you get the point from the other posts, it Does matter where the ball position is relative to the vertical plane of the goal line.
Whether its a kick or interception. The player better make sure the BALL is in the EZ when he takes a knee.
