in the end zone and you recover it, do you still get the 2 points for the safety and the 6 points for the touchdown or just the points for the touchdown?

No, just the touchdown. It is only a safety if you tackle the ball carrier in the end zone and he still has the ball, or fumbles it out of the end zone. If he fumbles and the defense recovers, it's a TD only.

it would either be one or the other. If u tackle him in the endzone it would be a safety, but if on the way down he fumbles the ball and u recover it it would be a touchdown. It cannot be both. U will recieve 2 points and they will kick off to u if it's a safety, or u will get the 6 for a touchdown and u will kick to them.

If a safety is called by the referee, that ends the play and there can be no fumble and no touchdown. If a loose ball is recovered in the offense's end zone, that is a touchdown for the defense.

well if its a safety then the player tackled remained with possesion
If he fumbles and the defense recovered in the endzone then a touchdown
you don not get rewarded both
If a team fumbles and the defense struggles to hold onto it and knocks it out of bounds in the back of the endzone then it is ruled a touchback and the Offense will get the ball on the 20 yard line

It wouldn't be a touchdown b/c a safety means you're own end zone. so it would just be a safety if it's recovered and tackled. The only way you would get a touchdown is if Devin Hester ran the ball from end zone to end zone. :)
A safety is when you're tackled in you're own end zone. like if the QB got sacked b/c the line of scrimmage was on the 2 yd line...understand. Think which way the QB is throwing...if the line of scrimmage is the 2 yd line is he throwing towards the 50 yd line or is he throwing toward the end zone.

Just the points for the touchdown....but in order to be a saftey...u would have to tackle the QB and then means if he fumbled in would be negated b/c he is down by contact of force him out of bounds.....if u strip the ball from him and your team recovers the ball while it is still in the end zone then yes it would be a touchdown....if he fumbles and it goes outta bounds then it would be a saftey

Just the touchdown because it's not really a safety if the QB fumbles.

If the quarterback is sacked and fumbles...defense recovers...that's a touchdown. 6 points then the PAT attempt...
No 2 points for "safety"

If there is a fumble in the endzone and you recover it, its a touchdown. If you tackle the other team in the endzone or the ball fumbles out of bounds....its a saftey.

If he fumbles it, its not a safety so you would only get the td. 6 points.
