If the official ruled that his original momentum took him into the EZ the ball would be spotted at the 2, where he gained posession, otherwise it is ruled a touchback. You are correct, if he ran into his EZ and was tackled there it would be a saftey. Without seeing it the covering official had to have ruled that his momentum did not carry him into the EZ and gave them a touchback.
