"◾ The kick: Touchbacks in the end zone start five yards farther up the the field at the 30-yard line. If a ball lands within the landing zone and becomes a touchback, the ball is placed at the 20-yard line. If the kick falls short of the landing zone, the ball is placed at the 40-yard line."
Ok, thanks. That’s why they don’t.
Edit. I read if it lands between the 20 and endzone it must be returned.
- Landing zone is the area between the receiving team’s goal line and its 20-yard line.
- Any kick that hits short of the landing zone – treated like kickoff out of bounds and ball spotted at B40 yard line; play would be blown dead as soon as kick lands short of the landing zone
- Any kick that hits in the landing zone - must be returned
- Any kick that hits in the landing zone and then goes into the end zone – must be returned or downed by receiving team – if downed then touchback to B20 yard line
- Kick hits in end zone, stays inbounds - returned or downed – if downed then touchback to B30 yard line
- Any kick that goes out of the back of the end zone (in the air or bounces) – touchback to B30 yard line
