Had this play where team quarterback A16 fumbles the ball on his own 8 yard line. A's halfback tries to recover the ball forces the ball forward away from A's 8 yard line, where R trying to recover the rolling ball forces it into A's end zone where A recovers. We ruled a touchback, after getting together as a crew, because of R's force. Was this the right call?

From 2-13-1. After a fumble has been grounded, a new force (energy exerted by a player which provides movement of the ball) may result from a bat, illegal kick, or muff. Sounds like you and the crew got it right.

Sounds like you got the call right but your usage of A and R is kinda mixed up. A would be correct for this play but R designates the receiving team when there's a free or scrimmage kick play. B would be the team who forced the ball into A's EZ.

Yep. TB.
