This has actually occurred on tries in two different games this year. The difference was the kicked loose ball hit a lineman in the butt and wound up behind the LOS. And I can tell you from personal experience, your first instinct is to blow it dead because it is a try. I was fortunate on the first because K fell on the ball just before I blew the whistle. The second, K actually picked up the ball and started running but was tackled before reaching the goal. My first experience made me hold the whistle on the second.
