I am guessing if I had offensive Pass interference in my "own" endzone maybe that would be a safety...right?

I may be confused about what you are saying. In real football, if the offense commits pass interference in the end zone, the defense gets the ball on the 20. That USED TO BE the rule, but not sure currently.

Haha you have traumatized a lot of Patriot fans all over again. This was exactly the situation in the Denver vs NE playoff game last year; it should have been a touchback for NE but instead the officials gave Denever the ball at the one yard line.

Any penalty on the offense in their own endzone (the one they defend) is a safety.
