EDIT: thinking more...not sure. If they called it a fumble out of endzone should be safety...

As a Carolina defense fantasy owner, I was really yelling for that to be reviewed lol.

(Ended up winning by less than half a point, so I guess no harm done.

Here is where it atalks about it in the rulebook.

"d) when a runner declares himself down by: (1) falling to the ground, or kneeling, and clearly making no immediate effort to advance
(2) sliding feet-first on the ground. When a runner slides feet first, the ball is dead the instant
he
touches the ground with
anything other than his hands or his feet "

Best case scenario: He gets destroyed in the first quarter of his first game back, so Prescott can go back in without any real loss of momentum.
