I think the play he is talking about is when MIN Punt Returner(R) tried to block the CHI gunner(K). Punt landed at the 5 and touched the MIN Punt Returner's hand and then went into the endzone where it was recovered by CHI.

Under NFHS rules, this is a touchback. Under NCAA and NFL, this is a touchdown for K because the ball was touched in the field of play by R.
