Very good - now, my concrete example. Leon Lett is ridiculed for his botched attempt to recover the blocked Dolphin field goal years ago. However, it's hard to tell just where the block took place. The defensive lineman got little penetration, so they're possibly "beyond the neutral zone". The field goal was low, probably due to the snow. The ball then rolled towards the end zone.
To me, it's possibly a live ball. Why the Dolphins didn't jump on it, I don't know. Why the Cowboys didn't either, I don't know! In the absence of an official signaling "live ball" or not, the prudent action would seem to be "recover the ball".
