K is attempting a field goal from their 10 yard line. The kick hits an upright and rebounds to the field of play where R37 catches it on the fly and advances to K's 35 yard line.
The crew working the game let the play stand. The correct call should have been touchback. The goal posts are out of bounds and when the kick hit the upright and it was apparent the field goal attempt would be no good, the covering officials should have blown the play dead and awarded R a touchback.
The force that put the ball into R's endzone was the kick by K.
Funny thing is this was a big game and there was a crew of 6 experienced officials working it. Goes to show you that hashing lots of case plays out can come in handy during these odd-ball situations.
