Both teams need to earn the play...like I have no problem with when a team is backed up at their own 1yd line and the QB is sacked or he steps out of the EZ/or an OT holds in the EZ..it's a SAFETY - other team gets 2pts and possession. It's cuz the defense EARNED it by backing you up and squeezing the offense off the field...not when the offense is at the defenses 1yd line and fumbles but NO ONE recovers...it's like a catch with both WR/DB hands on the ball -----tie goes to WR.
I don't even think there should be a penalty by moving it back to the 20yd line....it should be like a regular fumble out of bounds
OR
if inside the 10yd line -
placed at the original LoS of the play of the fumble....but keep possession.
