Rule 7-6-3
The Opponent(s)... until the ball has been released....
...on a throwin pass.

If it was a fumble, it was not a pass. The opponents may not reach through and grab a fumble.
Camron,
I agree with the premise, but cannot find a source.
Are we to assume a fumble, assume a pass since the ball had started to be passed, or do we judge a fumble because it was that too. I see nothing I can take to the bank.
