Partially Blocked Field Goal - Pro Rules

Had this play a couple of weeks ago. Team lines up for a 40 yard field goal on 4th down. The kick was partially blocked and goes beyond the yard to gain well short of the end zone where it is recovered. What is the ruling for both kicking team and defense regarding advancement of kick, possession, were the ball is placed due to missed field goal, and can kickers receive a first down based on recovering kick beyond the yard to gain.

We gave the ball to the defense first down at the spot where the kickers covered the ball.
