But it wasn't gravity because the ball never hit the ground. The defender stripped the ball and took it out of Fortes hand. So the only force on the play was the from the defender.

Locker Room Buzz: Chicago Bears
http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post/_/id/4685907/locker-room-buzz-chicago-bears-2
Still fully dressed in uniform nearly an hour after players had already left, rookie Kyle Long sat at his locker trying to describe the team’s roller-coaster ride of a game. He compared it to being ill. “You have a certain number of symptoms,” Long said. “We had our diarrhea. We had stomachache, nausea; all that kind of stuff. Then in the fourth quarter, we started feeling better.”

-Special teams was an absolute embarass want despite the huge returns. Kick return TD, Too many men, Weems spaz out that could have killed us.
-Still waiting for Peppers and Melton to do something to earn the 23 million they are making.
-Cutler had some bad moments but when we needed him he was there in a big way.
-1 sack in 2 games against elite pass rushes.
-I thought the offensive play calling was really good. The Vikings looked confused. Cutler should have tossed the red zone pick away thy sniffed out the play action.

Weems did not spaz out. It was a smart play by him by knowing the rule. No matter what happened it would of been a touchback.

If it was recovered in the end zone it would have been a Vikings TD.
As soon as Weems touches the ball it is a live ball on a punt, no different than if it hit a player in the air or was dropped by the returner.
We are just lucky that it was knocked out of the end zone.
It was a stupid risk.

No it would not of been. Any other time the ball going out the back it is a safety. Read the thread about it it explains it all. Since the kicking team touching the ball first is illegal touching.

As soon as a player from the punting team touches the ball on a punt the receiving team can tough the ball with no risk whatsoever. Weems could have fielded the ball ran backwards into the endzone and handed it to a Minnesota defender and it wouldn't have mattered.
