Why is a fumble that gos backward out of the inzone for the offense a safety and not a touchbach?

If you put the ball into your own endzone by backward pass or by carrying it there if the ball becomes dead in the endzone it is either a safety if you have possession at the end of the play or a touchdown if the oponent has possession at the end of the play. A ball that goes out of bounds is in possession of the last team to have possession in bounds so a ball going out of bounds in that case is a safety. Likewise a ball fumbled that goes out of bounds behind the goal line is a touchback because the team put the ball in the oponents endzone. If you put the ball in the oponents endzone it is either a touchback if he has possession or a touchdown if you have possession in the end zone at the end of the play. A kick remains a kick until it is possessed or is dead. That is why a ball touched by the receivers that then goes in the endzone where it is downed by the receivers is a touchback. It was the kick that put the ball in the opponents endzone.

Is line of scrimmage the invisible line?

The line of scrimmage is an imaginary line passing through the foremost point of the ball after the ball is marked ready for play. The space occupied by the ball is considered the neutral zone. The defense must stay on their side of the neutral zone and only the snappers hands may be in the neutral zone for the offense. Measurements are taken at the foremost point of the ball and the foremost point must touch the goal line for a touchdown.. When an offense is running out of its own endzone it must get the ball completely out of the endzone or it is a safety.

If a team intercepts a 2 point attempt after a touchdown and runs to the opponents goal Is it a touchdown or a safety?

If the player is tackled in the endzone it's a touchback and the ball will be spotted at the 20. But if he runs it all the way back it's a touchdown.AnswerIn the NFL, that's not possible. The play would be whistled dead once the offense had lost control of possession. In college and Canadian football, however, the defense would be awarded a 2-point defensive conversion for successfully running the ball back to the opposite end zone.
