The momentum exception: When a defensive player intercepts an opponent’s forward pass; intercepts or recovers an opponent’s fumble or backward pass; or an R player catches or recovers a scrimmage kick or free kick between his 5-yard line and the goal line, and his original momentum carries him into the end zone where the ball is declared dead in his team’s possession or it goes out of bounds in the end zone, the ball belongs
to the team in possession at the spot where the pass or fumble was intercepted or
recovered or the kick was caught or recovered.
Bring the ball back to the two. Once the player gained possession the kick ended and you could no longer have a touchback.
