My friend just said that the fumble out of the end zone being a touchback for the defense was the worst rule in sports.
I disagreed and replied that the end zone belongs to the defense, so it's the only way and asked if he had a better answer, to which he replied giving the ball to the offense on the 20 or 30.
It's an interesting idea but I don't know if I agree.
Say the ball is rolling around in the end zone or on the 1 and the defender is about to pick fall on it so the offensive player just swipes it out-of-bounds?
It's a tough rule but I think I agree with it.
Thoughts?
