NFL rulebook question

Recommended Posts

So got a rules question about what happens if a defensive lineman knocks over an offensive lineman and strip sacked the quarterback and same offensive lineman recovers the fumble

...does the play end ?

Had this happen in madden 22  and the left tackle recovered ball standing with room to run. Referee blew whistle ending play...

Thanks

It depends on the situation.  If the ball was fumbled forward, a lineman can't advance it.  If it is on 4th down, or in the final two minutes of the half/game, only the player who fumbled the ball (qb here) can advance it on recovery.  The ball should be spotted at the yardline of the fumble, and not where it was recovered, in that circumstance, as well.
