The referee explained that once the second receiver was blocked into the fair catcher, it "negated" the fair catch. Does this make any sense? I could understand if the second receiver blocked K into the fair catcher, but that is not what happened. K blocked the second R into the fair catcher. Can somebody explain this one to me?

K certainly has the right to continue blocking until the play is dead, because a fair catch does not guarantee R with possession. If K's blocking involves R losing their FC right, so be it.
Good play by K.
