I'd say it's questionable whether it was correct by the rules:

Roughing or Running Into Kicker or Holder
ARTICLE 4. a. When it is obvious that a scrimmage kick will be made, no 
opponent shall run into or rough the kicker or the holder of a place 
kick(A.R. 5-2-2-I and A.R. 9-1-4-I, III and VI).
1. Roughing is a personal foul that endangers the kicker or holder.
2. Running into the kicker or holder is a foul that occurs when the 
kicker or holder is displaced from his kicking or holding position but 
is not roughed (A.R. 9-1-4-II).
3. Incidental contact with a kicker or holder is not a foul.

Richards went under the punter and almost missed him altogether; he just 
ticked the guy's foot as he went by. Hard to see how that "endanger[ed] 
the kicker."
