Thanks Theisy, that's what I thought it was. Good explanation. Also on a fumble that goes out of bounds the ball is brougth back to where it was fumbled? Or where it went out of bounds? And is there a difference on 1st and 4th down?

The down does not matter. Any fumble that goes forward and out of bounds comes back to the spot of the fumble. If the fumble goes backwards and OOB the ball stays there. A backwards pass is a total different creature. If some how a backwards pass goes forward and OOB then that's where the ball will stay.
