I had a similar play to this last season.
K punts into a strong wind. Ball crosses neutral zone, but blows back behind line of scrimmage untouched. Punter actually catches the ball, and starts to walk towards an official to hand over the ball, realizing the ball was live, R comes in for a quick tackle behind the line to gain. 1-10 now for R, and K's coach is complaining of a late hit, because he beleives the ball was dead when his punter caught his own kick.
