Team A’s untouched punt or field goal attempt goes beyond the neutral
zone in flight, is blown back by the wind and first touches the ground, a
player or an official behind the neutral zone. RULING: By rule, he kick
is not considered to have crossed the neutral zone until it has touched
the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond that zone. Any
scrimmage kick may be advanced after catch or recovery by Team B, or
after catch or recovery by Team A in or behind the neutral zone if the
kick had not crossed the neutral zone (Rule 2-15-7).
