We had a great discussion a couple of weeks ago about when a loose ball becomes dead. Such as, a fumble hits the U in the middle of the field vs a fumble hitting the LJ who is standing on the sideline. Or a backward pass is missed and hits the chain upright post. Or a scrimmage kick hits a bird. Or a rolling fumble hits the pylon at the goal line. Etc, etc.
Funny things can happen when the ball is not in player possession, and the rules call for different outcomes.
