	Football Manual
		Any time the ball is fumbled or muffed, or touches the ground after a lateral pass, free kick or kick (not including kick-off), during a run, or a pass from center, the ball is dead and belongs to the team that fumbled the ball at the spot when it touched the ground.
		When the ball is put in play by the center, he passes it between his legs to one of his backfield men, who endeavors to advance the ball by running, kicking, passing forward, passing sideward, or passing backward to another player or any combination of these.
		When a forward pass is incomplete, the ball is dead and returned to the line of scrimmage of the last down, one down being counted on the offensive team.

		I know that in that specific situation, the replays clearly showed that the ball was never touched by the punting team, which is why the refs ruled the fumble, but even if they had touched it, I don't think that OK would have had a "free play".
		For example, when the ball is about to go into the endzone you will see a player jump into the endzone and hit back out of the end zone and then another player has to fall on it or grab it for it to be down.
		In the case of the former two, the ball is clearly immediately dead, but in the case of "touching" it seems that the ball becoming "dead" might possibly occur later.
