DevDog, this is a free kick following a fair catch.
See rule 4-1-2-c. Also see 8-4-1-a.

You're gonna have to help me, because I'm missing this one big time.
Last time I checked a fair catch meant a dead ball and the series began from that point, aka the 35 yd line. Therefore, the screen pass occurred on 1st down as did the run, as did the penalties which resulted from another first down after enforcement of the facemask penalty. Therefore, it WAS NOT after an awarded fair catch but after a scrimmage play.

They can still choose to free kick following a penalty, if it is the play after the fair catch, or awarded fair catch, even if originally they choose to put the ball into play via a snap. Casebook 4-3-7 has the same scenario.
