I am going to be honest, I did not watch that far into the tape. That would be a problem.

What I don't understand is why there were 2 successive free kicks? I understand the first one had the ability to score and the second one didn't. Does the Fed book state how to put the ball into play after such an attempt, or is it based solely on the fact that the play ended up being a field goal play?

The first one was a field goal. Kickoffs follow field goals.

"The field-goal attempt shall be a place kick or a drop kick from scrimmage,
or from a free kick following a fair catch, or an awarded fair catch."
