If you fumble the ball into the endzone and it goes out of bounds, it's a touchback and the other team gets the ball on their 20.
Does anyone have any idea why the consequences of such a fumble are so severe? If you fumble the ball out of bounds on one side of the goal line it's your ball where it went out, but an inch over the line and it's loss of possession and a twenty yard penalty. It seems a bit disproportionate.
