Fed. rules here also.
The force the put the ball in the EZ was the kick, therefore if it becomes dead there it would be a safety (assuming, of course, that players were trying to gain possession of the ball--not all that much of a stretch). If B/R recovered the ball in the EZ, it would be a TD.
Also, just because the punter touches it does not mean it becomes dead.
Finally, once it is in the EZ, no option Re. safety, TB, etc. can change...that is determined by the force that "put" the ball in the EZ (which in this case was the kick).
