Looking further, I found that a loose ball is a pass, fumble, or a kick. A loose ball that has not touched the ground is in flight (2-1-3) Thus on this play, since by definition this is a fumble that has not touched the ground it is a fumble in flight. Thus this would be a fumble interception and would be covered under the changes to the momentum rule.

Not a fumble interception but a recovered fumble.

A recovery is gaining possession of a ball after it strikes the ground(2-34-1). That is not what happened on this play.
An interception is the catch of and opponent's fumble or pass (2-22).
A catch is gaining possession of a ball in flight (2-4-1).
This play is a fumble (2-18) which means it is a loose ball which has not touched the ground making it's status "in flight" (2-1-3). Thus snatching the ball from and opponent is an intercepted fumble. Maybe??????
