Remember when CeeDee fumbled out of the end Zone?
Good chance touchback rule for fumbling through the end zone will be changed this offseason

Yeah I don't support it. If you fumble out of the end zone it should be a touchback.

I agree with this thought.
Why should an unrecovered fumble in the endzone be any worse for a team than an unrecovered fumble in the rest of the field.
The only place where this should be a more severe situation for the offence is if the fumble is forced byt eh defence in your own endzone. Then the defence should be rewarded for making that play.

What do they change it too is the question?

It never made sense to me that it’s a turnover….the defense didn’t recover so why should they get the ball?
With that said though it’s also one of those quirky rules that I oddly like even though I don’t understand it just because it adds some extra drama to those plays around the pylon.

Exactly. The offense has enough of an advantage.

Then you shouldn't get a TD if you recover in the end zone. Get the ball at the 5 or something

I'm torn. I hate the rule but its been apart of the game.
It's a stupid rule but honestly I have no issue with it. It seems too extreme to lose the ball and they get it on the 20.

While true it also seems to be unforced and it rewards the defense for something they didn't do. Just seems extreme.

The difference is a recovery.
There is no rationale for the rule.
A ball fumbled forward out of bounds goes back to the spot of the fumble. No reason for that to change at the endzone.
Only time it would make sense is for when it goes out the back of the end zone and not the side.

Do the same thing you do for any other forward fumble out of bounds.Leave it as it is. If you're dumb enough to reach the ball out at the goal line you deserve the consequences when you fumble.
What are they going to do, pretend it didn't happen and give him the ball back?
The logical thing.

The end zones are different than the rest of the field. That's why you get points for reaching them.
