There is no way that is correct

Shouldn’t they have to recover it past the first’s downline???

I don’t understand how Carolina touching it doesn’t change anything? The ball bounced off of a panthers player

There is no way that was the right call

The nfl seems to find new ways to screw the saints.

Exactly…
NFL will apologize later…

Zero chance that’s the right ruling. It’s not a punt. Possession never changed. They didn’t recover it last the marker.

I think it’s the correct call, but really rare situation. We blocked the kick, but then it bounced off a Carolina player past the line of scrimmage into the scrum. We touched it and they recovered.

That’s what I was screaming at my TV
Once it bounced off of the Carolina player…..should be a dead ball right there

Players need to physically take these refs out of the game one by one. I'm there guys.

Exactly, just like a punt. They touch it first it’s dead

Yep, another NFL 1st of its kind to happen to the Saints.

Per Chat GPT
The kick was blocked, then went beyond the line of scrimmage.
• It was touched by the defense.
• The kicking team recovered.
? That means the kicking team can legally retain possession of the ball.
However, for it to result in a first down, the spot of recovery must be beyond the line to gain (not just beyond the line of scrimmage).
If they recover short of the first down marker, it’s turnover on downs.
So yes — even if the defense touches the ball beyond the line of scrimmage, the kicking team still must recover it beyond the first down marker to earn a new set of downs. Touching by the defense only makes it legal for the kicking team to recover — not an automatic first down.
