confused by punt block

PostSat Oct 05, 2024 6:18 am

A punt was blocked in overtime and recovered in the end zone by the team that punted. Then it gave him back the ball at the 20, with 2nd down???? Should that not have been a safty?

I find it odd that there's no reference to a Ty Chandler fumble on the return, but since he was on the punt blocking team and recovered the blocked punt, it is within the realm of possibility that he recovered and possessed the ball in the field of play, and subsequently lost it, with the ball crossing the side or end lines in the end zone, resulting in a touchback.

I think that you're right. Donut running back Ty Chandler recovers the blocked punt in the end zone (after the receiving team had touched the ball last) and he takes a knee. But maybe someone can explain why the Donuts start out with 2nd and 10 instead of 1st and 10. Something from the NFL rulebook ... maybe a glitch ... or just a random quantum pulse from the multiverse...?

Great name for a team, by the way. Donuts.
