Sanchez fumbles the snap - Ravens ball at the Jets 24

These KO returners need to be careful when catching those deep kick-offs. McKnight nearly caused a safety

How?

Wouldn't it just be a touchback?

Rex is in the middle of a nightmare in Baltimore...

 

[MW49ers5]

How?

Catching the ball in bounds and then stepping out would be a safety, would it not?

The Jets are one of the teams I root against because of Rex Ryan.

Not if you gain possession in the endzone.

I think it would depend on the circumstances....for example, momentum carrying you out would not be an issue....at least that's my interpretation.

What would be the difference between a KO returner catching the ball in the end zone, in fair territory then running (stepping) out the back and what Lee did last Sunday against the Bengals?

 

[threelittleturds]

Yeah, it's not a safety if he catches it in the Endzone. Only if it's something like what Lee did, but on a KR that would mean a squib that bounced to like the 2 yard line before someone got it and ran into the endzone and out of bounds.

Although, it was a safety in Tecmo Bowl.

The Niners had possession outside of the endzone. The best example to compare a KR stepping out when he gets possession in the endzone would be a DB getting an interception at the back of the endzone and falling out of bounds. It's not a safety.

So if the KO returner catches the ball in the end zone and does not down the ball (by putting a knee down), then steps out of the back of the end zone that would not be a safety? Interesting...

It's a TB. Since his team gained possession they have not had the ball in the field of play.

WOO!!!

Ahh, there is the difference - Thanks!

Hahaha! Well hell, then the NFL needs to update (or back date) their rules!

 

[tomikcon1971]

Is it just me or is this a slow game?

 

[MW49ers5]

Ravens with 2 Strip- Sixes!!!

Baltimore is just owning Rex and the Jets! John is not about to be outdone by his little brother!

 

[MW49ers5]

WEIRD GAME!!!
