If the Steelers had recovered the ball in the end zone it would have been
their ball at the point of the muff.
If the Patriots had recovered in the EZ, then it comes out to the 20. If
they recovered in the field of play, the ball would have gone back to the
point of the muff.

Can someone please explain to me the rule?
The returner muffs the punt - it goes into the EZ (I thought he was
tackled in the EZ and didn’t go out of bounds) yet NE gets the ball at the
20. Seems fundamentally unfair.
I was waiting for Sterratore to come on and explain the situation but the
explanation never came.
