Simply put, this is nothing more than a tackle at the 5-yard line. 1st and 10 for R at the 5. Clock on snap.

The momentum exception does apply to free kicks and would have been R's ball at the 3 had he gone in the EZ (due to his original momentum) and the ball become dead. However, the kick ended at the 3 and he was allowed to run it back out of the EZ so it's R's ball at the 5.
