4th and 15 from a team's own 5 yard line.
Punter is in the EZ. Snap comes and the P fumbles the catch, the ball drops to the ground, in the EZ. The P gets nervous (or something because he's in the EZ) and kicks the ball out of the EZ into the field of play.
[Can you see this happening? I can - it happens on occasion - this time it was in the EZ, as opposed to the 30 or 40 or something.]
Now, the ball hits a member of the defence (receiving team if you will) at the 3 yard line (by accident - through no purpose of his own), then bounces back into the EZ. The P and a member of the receiving team both jump on the ball at the same time.
Ruling?
