No. Once the other team tackles him, they get 2 points. And they also get the ball kicked to them.

It is a two point safety if the ball carrier is tackled in his own endzone or runs out of bounds (or out the back) while in the endzone. The ball carrier can leave the endzone prior to being tackled and the other team will not get any points.

No.
They get 2 points however if the player is tackled in the endzone, or goes out of bounds in the endzone. It is called a safety. This very rarely happens in the NFL.

Thats a safty and thats 2 points for the other team.And then the other team gets the ball and they only get two points if the player steps out of bounds anywhere within the end zone or is tackled there.

Not unless he loses possesion and the other team recovers it. If he simply runs in and spikes the ball thinking he's got a TD and the ball travels through the end zone, it's a safety.

It is two points for the other team. It happened in the NFL in 1964 when Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings recovered a fumble and ran it back into his own end zone at San Francisco.

Assuming he is downed in his own end zone, it would be a safety-- only two points, plus his team has to free kick to the other team from the 20.

No...Its a safety which gives them 2 points...Then the team which had the ball has to kick it away to the other team...

It's only a safety when the ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone.
