Schultj,
The NFL momentum rule is the same as FED & NCAA. If it happens inside the 5, the ball is brought out to the spot of possesion, not "foward progrss". It is not a touchback.
Joe,
I believe the NFL changed the rule this year so that grounded fumbles are also covered.The Raiders recovered a loose ball last year on about the 5 and slid into the end zone on a wet field. It seemed crazy at the time that it was a safety so I guess they rethought the rule. IN FED & NCAA the ball would be dead upon recovery if it was recovered while the player was on the ground.
