I'm calling it a forward pass
Cause if I don't, this must have been one heck of a hit to cause the ball to go 27 yards foward!
If K doesn't kick it, this is a fumble. Typing out loud here ..... I don't see how K1 is down because he is still under the exception allowing him to hold the ball with knee(s) on ground. Now if he were knocked to his butt and THEN the ball comes loose, it is a dead ball.
