If you are inbounds and you reach across the goal line, it is a TD.

I heard it, it was on the very close catch near the sideline, tippytoed dive to the pylon. I believe it was the Jets first TD. It was an amazing play and a great call.
The goal line only extends forever on a player who is touching inbounds, so if a player dives outsie the pylon then you don't have a TD. But in the Jets game the player dived to the pylon but held the ball inside the pylon. He might have even had his feet inbounds. It was a great catch by the player and great call by the officials.
