To get a safety call here the player intercepting the ball would need to bring the ball out of the end zone into the field of play and then go back into the end zone (i.e., he would be the one forcing the ball into the end zone) and then ... go OOB in the back of the end zone. The way you described the play the QB with his forward pass put the ball in the end zone and MJT's analysis is correct.
