Question: Does a RB get credit for yardage gained if

[SissyBoyFloyd]

... he fumbles at the end of a run and the other team recovers it?

 

[Vermont Maverick]

yup

 

[crisper57]

Credit for the carry, not the distance the ball travels after the fumble, IIRC.

 

[Bert]

Why wouldn't he?

The RB still carried the ball those yards.

Correct. As long as he has possession the yardage accrues. Once the ball is free it's a live ball and said RB no longer has possession.
