Play question?

Say the kicking is unintentional. On a punt that travels into the end zone, the kicking team provides the force that sends the ball into the receiving team's end zone, which is a touchback. But here, the receiving team provides the force to send the ball into its own end zone. Could this case therefore result in a safety?

Well, if you say "unintentional" then it more like a muff. Which would give you a tochback. Also like Snake~eyes said too.
