It's known as the momentum rule. If a defnder or kick returner field a ball in flight inside his own 5 yard line and his momentum then carries him onto the end zone where he is tackled, the ball comes back to the spot where he caught the ball. It makes no difference whether he tried to run out of the EZ or not.

There's no such thing as a forward lateral. There are only forward passes and backwards passes. A pitcher is fields a bunt and tosses the ball to the first baseman. Does it matter if the ball is tossed underhanded or overhanded? Of course not. It doesn't matter in football either.

An incomplete forward pass always causes the ball to become dead.
