Actually Mike, you're technically not correct.
REPLY: Back to Mike's original premise...NF 5-1-3f says that "When a scrimmage down ends with the ball in the field of play or out-of-bounds between the goal lines a new series is awarded to...(f.) The team in possession at the end of the down, if R is the first to touch a scrimmage kick while it is beyond the expanded neutral zone unless the penalty is accepted for a foul which occurred before the kick ended."
In Mike's play, the scrimmage down did not end in the field of play nor OOB between the goal lines.
