Losa Ball in own endzone NF case book 8.5.1 Sit D

In the second part of your question, where A1 fumbles on his 2 yard line.
Then B1 intentionally kicks the loose ball which is already in the end zone, then goes out of bounds behind the goal line.

The ruling is based on the fact that the Fumble was the Force that put the ball in the end zone. Loose ball Play. Since the force which put the ball in the end zone is A1's fumble, the result of the play is a safety. Team A will undoubtedly accept the 15 yard penalty which is enforced from Teams A's 3 yard line, which is the previous spot. Hope that helps.

Guys thanks alot!
I thought I was getting along well in the rules and then I find out that I do not know as much as I first thought.

So- it is a loose ball play and the penalty is from the Previous spot. The fact that A lost possession behind the previous spot does not apply.

Actually that fact is quite relevant as that is what makes this play a loose ball play and not a running play.
