Couple crews-worth chatted about this last night here in WI under our Fed rules.
Welpe has it verbatim with what we ended up with. And below is the only case play I've ever seen regarding the same type of event that transpired. In the Packers/Lions game, the ball broke the plane of the EZ and R1 purposely went OOB before touching ball, so we aren't apples for apples.
6.1.8 SITUATION C: R1 is running near a sideline as he attempts to catch a free kick in flight. R1 has one foot on the sideline, when he reaches through the plane of the sideline. The ball bounces off his hands and lands out of bounds. RULING: Since R1 is out of bounds when the ball is touched, the kicker has caused the ball to be out of bounds.
