The receiving team can run it out or down it in the end zone for a touchback; if nobody on the receiving team touches the ball, that's also a touchback and the receiving team gets the ball first and ten on their own 20 yard line.

If the ball is punted and lands in the endzone then tipped back by the kicking team, it is ruled a touchback.
