I'm watching the Patriots/Colts game, and a few minutes ago an inelligible member of the kicking team (Patriots) was called for being downfield on a punt, when the referee made the announcement, he said that "there will be a re-kick 5 yards deeper"

Now my question is, was New England forced to punt again, or could they try and go for the first down, however unlikely it would be??
I noticed this too Julian. The R was Mike Carey, #94. He's the other fit white hat in the NFL.

I thought that it was odd that he said they would re-kick.

After the penalty appliation, it was 4th and more-than-10, if I remember correctly. The chances of a fake are slim, especially in the No Fun League.
