If no one secures a scoring kick blocked within 3 yards of the line of scrimmage, or the kicking team gains possession, the ball belongs to the defending team where the ball was previously snapped unless the snap was with in the defending teams 20 yard line, in that case the next snap will take place at the 20 regardless if the ball enters the end zone or not.
