I've officiated football for over 30 years, now in my 26th on the college level. I've worked NCAA playoffs at the Division II and III level. In addition, I've coached at the scholastic level and have been an educator for over 35 years. I have no interest whatsoever in being an NFL official! Ever!

KC punts. KC touches ball at 1 to keep from being a touchback. Cleveland player knows that he can try & pick up ball w/ no risk so he simply taps the ball off KC player so that it now enters the end zone. Is this now a touchback instead of down at 1?
