One quibble. The forward pass and action before it would be a loose ball play. Once the pass is completed, a running play begins. If there is a subsequent fumble beyond the neutral zone, then that fumble is part of the related run. If that fumble is recovered, we have the start of another running play.
If you have a foul during a loose ball after a fumble beyond the NZ, then the basic spot is the end of the related run.
