What is fourth down fumble in football?
The fourth down fumble rule gives an exclusive right to recover the ball fumbled in the fourth down. It aims to protect that performer and give them a chance to correct the mistake. If the teammate or defender takes the ball possession, it will lead to the dead at the spot of the fumble, except if the event happened behind it. In that case, the spot of recovery will become the spot of the dead ball, and any player can recover it.
