My question is: a play can start inside the endzone? Is it legal to make the snap inside it? If this is possible than I agree with the TD result. But if it is not possible than this is not an automatic TD because the "receiving team" never had the possession.
Right now I believe it would be signaled a foul against the kicking team and the ball should be placed on the 1-yd line for the receiving team. But I can not find any rule supporting this outcome so it is just an (alternative) opinion on it. |

And I can't see a reason for a foul, since all was OK, snap outside the endzone, place holding inside endzone, kick was incomplete and untouched / out of bounds. By the way, if I read the scoring a TD rule of the NFL it never has any dead ball rule, except the referee awards a TD. The rest is always like 'a player ....' |

The line of scrimmage is not inside the endzone only the kick.
For example if LoS at 1 yds the kick spot is 6 yds inside the redzone. If the fg is missed the receiving team take the ball at the spot of the kick not at LoS. Edit: sorry Jack I was typing when you posted. Last edited on 2022-01-05 10:58:50 by PJRAVENS |

What I meant is the next play of the receiving team. It can not start inside the endzone (imo). So it could not be a TD as the "receiving team" never had the possession inside the kicking team' endzone. I came with the foul idea because the whole situation is not covered by any rule... so throw the yellow flag!  It is kind of an act of despair.  |

My guess is that if a team really wanted to try kicking a FG from there own 6 yard line, the holder would line up outside of the endzone. There is no rule that states a holder must be seven yards behind the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, I tend to agree it would be ruled a safety
