Rule 6-2-4 Any kicker may catch or recover a scrimmage kick:
1)while it is beyond the neutral zone - OK, THAT HAPPENS ON THIS PLAY
2) Provided such kick has been touched by a receiver who was clearly beyond the neutral zone at the time of touching - THAT DIDN"T HAPPEN ON THIS PLAY, R didn't touch it downfield.
Therefore K can't keep the ball. 1st & 10 for R where K downed the ball.
