If a ball is intercepted in the defended endzone (the endzone the defense is trying to , it is considered a touchback and the ball will be brought out the to twenty yard line, just like a kickoff that is fielded in the endzone. If the intercepting player spikes the ball, he might get called for a penalty, but only if he is, in the eyes of the official, celebrating excessively.
