re: NFL to consider changing fumble through endzone touchback rule

It makes no sense to treat a fumble differently at that spot on the field vs everywhere else on the field. They should bring it back to where the fumble occurred.

Fumble rules do vary by when it happens or possession so it's not like every situation is the same.

A fumble can't be advanced if it happens on 4th down or in the last two mintutes of a half or if a returner doesn't gain possesion of the ball (muff).
