Original sentence: All place-kicked balls--kick-offs, field goal attempts, and the like--are live balls which may be played in one way or another by either team (subject to restrictions in the case of any "free" kick: see onside kick).Fair catchs: A kick returner may signal a fair catch if the ball will be caught with good field position, or if the kicking team's members are advancing so quickly that a return is impossible.Generally, a returner who catches a kickoff or punt in the "red zone" between the receiving team's own end zone and 20 yard line will attempt some sort of return, if only to gain a few yards.Laterals: In extreme cases - generally during kickoff returns in the closing seconds of play - the returner may attempt a lateral pass to avoid the ball being downed in a tackle
