Is it a safety or a touchback if a defensive football player intercepts a forward pass on the field of play then is tackled in the endzone?
The answer depends upon whether or not the defensive player willfully retreated into the endzone under his own power.When the defensive player intercepts the ball, if his momentum carries him backward into the endzone and he has made no attempt to establish himself as a runner, then the play is ruled as a turnover in the endzone and therefore a touchback.If the defensive player is pushed backward into the endzone by the receiver (who has now become a defender), he should be given his forward progress. Therefore, the ball would be spotted in the field of play at the point of contact.Only if the defensive player intercepts the ball in the field of play and then retreats into his endzone under his own power (where he gets tackled or runs out of bounds) would the play result in a safety.

What is the difference between a defensive back and a safety?
This is a big difference= A defensive back is actually a player who, instead of rushing the carrier, stays back and covers the receiving offense. The defensive back is not always defensive. Say the defensive team is running the ball. The defense will want to blitz, sending the defensive back through the defensive line. A safety is actually a rule. When the offensive team is making a play, if the runner is tackled inside their own endzone, a safety is called. This means that the offensive team MUST punt the ball to the defense.
