What? You mean to tell me that if I make a catch coming back to the ball out of the end zone, my toes are in the end zone and I catch the ball at the 2 that it's a TD?
This is not a difficult concept so I'm not sure what the issue is Â
The goal line stretches across a football field from pylon to pylon. It is literally painted on the field. The goal line does not stop at the pylons, however. That line continues to infinity past the pylon, use your imagination to visualize this.
Your body can cross the goal line inside the pylon while in the field of play and the ball can be outside the pylon the same time. If it crosses before the play is blown dead, it's a touchdown.
Extend the plane outward?

Theoretically speaking the goal line extends from the pylon all the way to the 1st row of the stands, so if the ball swung around the outside it would be considered a TD.
However I agree with you, because when Stafford went out of bounds the ball was nowhere near the goal line.
Hope this link to the replay works. Stafford clearly hops out over the inside of the pylon before coming down out of bounds. It's pretty clear. Link - ( New Window )
I know it's been discussed here, but wow, Diehl sounds like he's been broadcasting for 10+ years. He'll be a top pairing broadcast guy from the looks of it.
I would've line drives that on the field and make them field it Â

Agreed. Diehl sounds really good. I'm sure there are some mistakes. It's his first year. But he already sounds very knowledgeable and smooth. He seems to know when to stop talking.
the ball ever having broken the plane?
The ball clearly crossed the sideline, but never the goal line plane.
As I read these rules, it seems to me that Stafford did not score a touchdown.
Article 1 Touchdown Plays. A touchdown is scored when:
(a) the ball is on, above, or behind the plane of the opponents’ goal line and is in possession of a runner
who has advanced from the field of play; or
(b) a ball in possession of an airborne runner is on, above, or behind the plane of the goal line, and some
part of the ball passed over or inside the pylon; or
(c) a ball in player possession touches the pylon, provided that, after contact by an opponent, no part of
the player’s body, except his hands or feet, struck the ground before the ball touched the pylon; or
(d) any player who is legally inbounds catches or recovers a loose ball (3-2-3) that is on, above, or behind
the opponent’s goal line; or
(e) the Referee awards a touchdown to a team that has been denied one by a palpably unfair act. NFL Scoring rules - ( New Window )

Not upwards - outwards. He crossed before coming down out of bounds from the replay.

The Jets offense is bad enough to make that impossible. What a brutal drop by Ivory.

Their QB is the problem.
This could be a screamer
Haha yup, Louis Legend set up the winning TD for the Bucs
That guy is a knife!
And hey, anyone who makes a stadium full of Steelers fans shut the fuck up is OK in my book
