NFL will look at the fumble-out-of-end-zone rule
I actually like the rule. From the surface it seems unproportionally unfair to the offense, however when you look at how the end zone is treated compared to the rest of the field at play it begins to make sense. The reasoning is that the defense is to defend its goal or end zone not field but zone. It is not called the end field it called the end zone and area that is treated much different than the rest of the field. It has a finality to it, once that zone is penetrated it's over unlike the field of play. The field is played to give the offense an opportunity to reach the end zone but once your there its a new game if you will...the endgame. Penetrate the goal. The end zone is treated as the end of the play area THE END. It is like dropping off the face of earth. Like playing basketball on a roof. If the ball goes over, your done and the defense has successfully defended its goal. Time to get a new ball and start over. It brings a sense of finality to it. Here's your shot, don't mess it up. Like winning a battle in a 4 quarter war.
