If the ball is kicked into the end zone and is downed it is a “Major” touchback and the ball is placed at the return side 35-yard line.
If the ball bounces in bounds and then out of the end zone or is downed in the end zone, the ball is placed at the return side 15-yard line.

So if you're the kicking team what you want to do is try to kick it so that it bounces close to the goal line and goes into the end zone and try to get the receiving team to down it there so they're stuck on their own 15... I guess.
Very confusing set of rules, honestly.
