The defender batted it out. Should it have been a safety? Or is that a legal bat?JohnnyTheBone said:Is that considered a lost fumble if it goes out of the endzone? It wasn't recovered, so technically not "lost".

It should change. Really makes no sense.SeoulSoxFan said:This rule may change next year.
If the ball goes out of bounds anywhere other than the end zone, the offense gets to keep the ball. It's silly that defense gets it if ball goes out of bounds in the end zone.
This is spot on. It's been a bad rule forever. It's about time that it's changed.SeoulSoxFan said:

bad angle.catomatic said:The one replay I saw suggested it was possible the ball broke the plane of the end zone—was that just a bad angle?
Section15Box113 said:I think the "or in any direction in either end zone" is pretty clear.
Of course, no one has mentioned it on the broadcast or postgame to this point.
