They changed the fair catch rule three or four years ago.
Used to be that to signal fair catch, the returner had to raise his hand and give a "proper" signal.
The new rule is "any" signal by the returner is considered a "proper" signal.

They made the correct call. Player made an invalid signal. Stupid rule.. but the right call.
Something I didn't realize.. the "kick-catch" protection status lasts THROUGH a muffed catch up until the point the ball touches the ground. I figured you could blast a guy who muffed it immediately
