== == == == When the ball is advanced past the end zone line it is called a touchdown. It is worth 6 points. A touchdown can be scored on offense or defense by any player. A touchdown can also be scored if there is a fumble in the end zone, and the team that scored on that end zone recovers the fumble.
a fumble is you can recover it, but a pass you intercept it.
One instance where that position would be able to score a touchdown would be in the case of a fumble, since centers are not allowed to have the football thrown to them, or if their is a trick play performed such as a fumble rooski, a play which was established by Nebraska.

how ever long until the ball becomes dead: -hits the ground -goes out of bounds -fumble/fumble recovery -sack -ball carrier tackled -touchdown it also usually depends on where in the field you are and trying to score a touchdown from that spot.
Pass, rush, yards, interception, fumble, penalty, tackle, helmet, touchdown
Troy Polamalu had one fumble return for a touchdown in 2005.
Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts scored a touchdown on an offensive fumble recovery. The touchdown was scored in a 38-34 Indy win over New England in the 2007 AFC Championship Game.
Monster is a defensive position. A player in that position could potentially score a touchdown by either recovering a fumble or intercepting a pass (most likely to the tight end) and running it in.
Both Hegman and Thomas 'Hollywood' Henderson hit Terry Bradshaw who fumbled. Hegman picked up the ball and ran 37 yards for a touchdown.
First, there's no such thing as a "dead ball fumble." A ball must be live in order to be fumbled. Also, once a ball is possessed by the offense in the end zone, the play is over and there can be no fumble. If you're referring to a situation where a fumbled ball is blown dead by the referee, the only question is whether the ball was actually caught in the end zone. If it was, then a touchdown was scored which ends the play, and thus no fumble. If it was not a valid catch, then the pass was incomplete -- no fumble. The only situation where a fumble would nullify a touchdown would be if the ball was caught and then fumbled BEFORE crossing the goal line.
