On any fumble, "impetus" is always from the player that fumbled the ball. It doesn't matter who "touched" the ball last, it only matters who had "possession" last (and touching is not possession).

If a Seattle player had somehow gained true possession at the 1-yard line and then fumbled it again into the endzone it would have been a touchback. Since no Seattle player ever had possession, it was a safety.

Do you have any link to support this? Clearly this isn't true logically.
