Drue Chrisman, take a bow!

Would've 100% been a safety.

I was thinking this morning; if Chrisman punts like this forever, we have our punter for the next 10+ years: you could see on TV that his hangtime was superb.

This website  includes a video by NFL Officiating, which states if a punt if muffed in the field of play,  and then recovered in the end zone, then it is a touchback.

It includes a video of a muffed punt from a Miami/Buffalo game where Buffalo muffed a punt at the 9-yard-line, the ball goes into the end zone, and is recovered by Buffalo in the endzone. The ball was then declared a touchback because it was never possessed by Buffalo, and thus the ball went out to the 20.
