Found the rule:
Extension of Periods
ARTICLE 3 a A period shall be extended for an untimed down if one or more
of the following occurs during a down in which time expires in the 2nd or 4th
quarter (AR 3-2-3-I-VIII):
1 A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) (Exception: Rule 10-2-5-
a) At the option of the offended team, the period is not extended if
the foul is by the team in possession and the statement of the penalty
includes loss of down (AR 3-2-3-VIII)
2 There are offsetting fouls
3 An official sounds their whistle inadvertently or otherwise incorrectly
signals the ball dead
b Additional untimed downs will be played until a down is free of the
circumstances in statements 1, 2 and 3 of Rule 3-2-3-a (above)
c If a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in a period expires,
the period is extended for the try (Exception: Rule 8-3-2-a)
