Intercepts in end

I think part of the the confusion here is that the OP has the fumble recovery and dead ball spot at B2, not B4.

Thanks it was not momentum that took him into the end zone.

That is what I figured, but some people think anytime you go into the EZ that automatically means momentum. Your wording made me think that is not what you were trying to suggest.

Keep in mind that if the pass forced the ball into the end zone, the basic spot on this would be the 20. This isn't the case on this play.

That is a very good point, that changes the dynamic of that play.

This. It all goes back to definitions. When the mask was grabbed, it was a running play for B. The end of the related run was, by rule, the goal line. So it's B's ball at the 15 yard line 1/10. Clock SNAP/25.

Same conclusion we reached over on Refstripes to the same play.
