Who gets possession of the football in this sequence of events?

[her209]

Its 4th down, and offense goes for it. An interception is made by the defense and the intercepter is running it towards the endzone, but fumbles the ball and its recovered by the original offensive team behind the first down marker.

Does it get turned over on downs?

First down for the original offense.

 

[Perknose]

The offensive team gets a first and ten at the point of its fumble recovery.

The interception is a change of possession so the 4th down possession is over and done with. The proceeding fumble is another change of possession so its first down for the team that recovered.
