The momentum rule in NF states from the 5 & in, if the defenders original momentum carries him into his own endzone after a catch or recovery, and the ball is declared dead in his possession in the endzone, then the ball will be spotted at the point he secured possession. So in your case, the ball should've been spotted at the 2. The only reason I can think of to take the ball out to the 20 would be if he bobbled the catch and did not secure possession until after entering the endzone. If his original momentum does not carry him into the endzone, like he stopped to attempt a runback outside the zone and then for some reason retreated into the endzone, well he better get back out in a hurry to avoid a safety.
