The fumble actually did not lose yards. It goes forward on these plays. Try again.Because the fumble lost yards, and it is out of the offense's field of play... think about it in math terms, it would be a negative number..... so really the rules don't change at all... you lose the ball, you lose yards, ball is where it goes out of bounds... But because there is no negative yard line, the other team gets the ball...
it really is simple...
also, for this to be a fumble, you must fumble it before you get into the endzone...
