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.
Yep. Pretty sure a muffed punt would be a touchback because the runner never actually has possession of the ball before going into the EZ.
