So for a point of clarification here......

As the rules stand right now....

1) If a player runs out of bounds following a running play and the box is shaken and the result is a fumble, it is a fumble despite the fact he ran out of bounds first....

2) If a player runs out of bounds following a pass play and the box is shaken and the result is a fumble to the defense or an incomplete pass it is a turn-over/incomplete pass despite the fact he ran out first....


3) The offense throws and interception, the box is shaken and the result is a "turnover by the offense". The call in the game was a fumble by the interceptor. This does not make sense to me as the defense is still on the field. If it was returned for a touchdown it would be a defensive stat.

If this is the case the rules need to be revised to say "fumble by the ballcarrier".



Clarifications please.
