It's the same old story for why this rule has never changed, and the same reason this video (where you asked for the comments section to come up with an alternative) only has 4 comments: There's no better alternative. It's just "one of those things," in football. Quirky as it may be, it's football. Football is full of little quirks like this as it's such a dynamic game.

What? This is not a stupid rule. So what are you asking? Are you asking for the offense to be awarded a touchdown when they didn't even have possession of the ball in rhe end zone? Now that would be stupid.

Change to team with ball to get ball where the fumble occurred

CHIEFS VS BROWNS still stupid lol 😂
