I cannot find a rule to support an answer to this scenario. Does anyone have an answer that can be supported by the rule books.

K has the ball 4th and 5 from their own 10 yard line. The scrimmage kick is blocked by R1 and the ball rolls into the end zone. Both K2 and R1 simultaneously recover the ball in the end zone.

What do you have?

Rule 6-2-7, ball is awarded to R. Touchdown.

Touchdown for R.

Rule 6-2-7...When any scrimmage kick is out of bounds between the goal lines or becomes dead inbounds between the goal lines while no player is in possesion, or inbounds anywhere while opponents are in joint possesion, the ball is awarded to R. Following an out-of-bounds kick, the ball is put in play at the inbounds spot unless R chooses a spot of first touching.
