Both teams appear offsides in the photos.
This came up in an NFL game I watched recently. You have to consider the football as part of a plane that no part of a non-kickers body can cross. It was stated that refs are lenient on kickoffs that are not onsides.
It is a lot like the way it is in basketball where quite often when inbounding the ball a player will be half inbounds and nothing will be called unless the defense is in some sort of press defending the inbound.
