Ball on the 1 or touchback????
Play last week.
K Punt from the 50. Ball bounces down to the 1, R is not near the ball to return it. The ball becomes at Rest for 1 1/2 seconds. K2 comes sliding in to down the ball but but his mometum carries it into the endzone. We then have the whistle of the play being dead.
I have heard 2 different rulings.
1. Ball at the 1 because the ball was at Rest so that means the play is dead right there.
2. Touchback as there was a force to bring it into the endzone.
Thoughts?
