How is that not a safety? Had to have control outside the end zone, as he them got up & carried it into the end zone...?
Confuzzed.
My understanding is that a safety is when a defense pushes an offense back into their endzone. It's a reward to the defense for being so dominating. To that end then, you can't have a safety levelled against you when your defense is on the field. If it was a safety, then GB would have been awarded two points for fumbling and losing the ball, which would make no sense.
That's my understanding of the rule, and the logic behind it, anyway.
