Technically not "down at the two." In order for the momentum exception to apply, (among other things) the ball must become dead in the EZ. It did in this case due to the IW; often, the player will take a knee or be tackled.
I guess if I were announcing what happened, I might state that "by rule, the ball will be placed at the spot of recovery."
And, as HLin and CT1 pointed out, since the ball became dead due to the IW, the receiving team should have had the option to replay the down.
