Here's the situation: Defender intersepts in their own endzone. The intended receiver immediately tackels the defender with the ball, and in the process, he is pushed across the goalline and falls at the 1 yard line. Does he get his forward progress to the 1, or is it a touchback to the 20?

We've debated this play a few times on here. I have him down on the 1.
