Your second question...making a fair catch is one of those 'major' clock-stoppers--those where "...the action that caused the down to end also caused the clock to stop." Just like an incomplete pass and a live ball going out of bounds. Hence, start on the snap
1. Miss read - thought it a first

2. Thanks - that what I had deduced but was unsure.
