Why is inside the 20 yard line called the 'Red Zone' in football?
It's just a nickname for the area between the 20 yard line and goal-line where an offense has a good chance at scoring.

What if a punt goes out of bounds?
its a touchback and you start on your own 20 yard line If it is determined that your momentum carried you into the end zone, the play is considered a touchback, and the ball will be placed on your 20-yard line. If it is determined that you intentionally carried the ball back from the field of play into the end zone -- for example, if you cleanly fielded the ball at the 1-yard line, and then deliberately stepped backwards into the end zone and took a knee, in an attempt to gain extra yardage with a touchback -- your team will be assessed a safety, and you'll have to kick off from your own 20-yard line.
If a kickoff is fumbled into the end zone can it be downed?
If the player does not step outside of the end zone before stepping out, then it is ruled a touch-back and the ball is placed at the 20 yard line. However if he steps out of the end zone then steps out inside the end zone it is ruled a safety and the other team gets 2 points and the team that stepped out in the end zone then gets a free punt.
