"Kick into Team A end zone" implies intentional. Is that what you intended?

If the kicking is ruled intentional, it is illegally kicking the ball. Kick also changes the impetus, so the result of the play is a touchback - 1st and 10 at A-20 for team A. The penalty for the illegal kick is 10 yards from the basic spot, which would be the previous spot, as the foul occurs during a kick play. As the penalty would place the ball at A-13 and may not result in a first down, team A will obviously decline the penalty.

If the kicking is ruled accidental, see the thread linked in the previous post.
