No Bob, He intercepted it 5 yds deep in the EZ, started to run it out, changed his mind at the goal line, but then couldn't stop his own momentum. So the ball was clearly in the field of play when his knee touched in the endzone.

The defender's knee was almost on the goal line to give you an idea of how close he was to actually bringing the ball back out.
