[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 830964, member: 2580"] In order to throw it, you have to catch it first, which establishes possession. So throwing it out the back of the end zone would be equivalent to catching it and fumbling it there. Thus a safety. If you “accidentally” knock it out the back of the end zone without catching it, it would be a touchback as long as you sell the “accidental” part convincingly enough, which probably gets harder the more you do it because it. At a certain point, the ref is gonna have a hard time believing you just so happened to muff the ball out of the back of the end zone 5 times in a row unintentionally. If you don’t catch the punt, and you very clearly knock the ball into your own end zone intentionally without catching it, you would incur an Illegal Batting penalty. [/QUOTE]
