Just wondering

When the returner touches the Ball outside of the endzone and proceeds to run into the endzone and Take a knee shouldnt this be ruled a safety? Because that clearly happened in our game against baltimore last week and it was rouled a touchback

It happened with 3.30 left in the 3rd quarter, just after our field goal, if anyone wanted to Take a look themselves.

I know this is Bears week but i just found that play really Strange and cant get it out of my head

If momentum takes them into the endzone it is not ruled a safety. They rule was actually changed because it happened to IIRC Doug Evans on an INT.

Not sure it's similar.

But what happened to Evans happened to Thomas Davis in 2007 vs the Cowboys.

I thought the same thing at the time. I was freaking out about it because f*ck momentum that should be a damn safety. Returners need to have the awareness to get out of the end zone if their own momentum takes them back in, before kneeling the ball.

I saw it too but then the commentators didn't even touch on it. The returner was clearly in the field of play it took a weird hop he touched it and then went back in the endzone I thought it was clearly a safety but they didn't even mention why it wasn't.

    • The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.
    • Dude.. that sounds so sad. 
    • Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
