Situation: K kicks a free kick from their own 40 yard line. R is standing at his 10 and muffs ball and falls down. The ball is on the 2 yard line and R realizes that K might get to the ball before he can gain possesion so he kicks ball through his own end zone. Am I reading the rule correctly that there is no new force on a free kick? So this is a touchback and R gets the ball on the 20?
Thanks
