Originally posted by PAUMP I agree with the second and third answers but not the first. In this case you have a muff which is a free ball. A muff can be recovered by either team but not advanced by the kicking team. Since the ball was recovered in the end zone it is a touchdown.
To quote one of my instructors, "A kick is a kick is a kick."
The ball is dead when it crosses the goal line. Touchback.
