The solution is to have fouls that incur loss of down not supersede "responsibility".
I didn't understand the response. The issue as I understand it is that if Team A's QB backs up into his end zone and while attempting a pass, Team B hits his arm and causes the ball to be fumbled out of the end zone into the field of play.
Once in the field of play, if Team B muffs the ball out of bounds, it is a Safety on Team A. OR, if Team B adds new Force to the fumble back across the goal line and Team A recovers the ball, it is a Touchback. This disparity doesn't make sense to me!
