http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2013/9/16/4734702/bears-vs-vikings-notes-scribbles-and-things-jotted-down I'm not sure I understand this part of it. The worst case scenario would have been the Bears getting the ball closer to the goal line if a Viking would have grabbed it prior to entering the endzone? Yes, I believe that's correct. Because once it's in the endzone, it was a touchback. This is why you see three or four guys around the ball boxing out a lot of times, because something like this can happen.
