If it crosses the goal line it is a touchback ball is placed on the 20.
If it lands in the field of play and no one touches it the ball is dead at the spot.
A field goal is the same as a punt, in other words, there are free kicks such as kickoffs and scrimmage kicks which include punts and field goals. A field goal is an attempt to score and that is the basic difference from a punt.
