i never knew such a thing as an "extended goal line" exists. can someone explain this concept to me?

(as you can see, i am not an official. haha)

thanks

The runner can score a TD if he reaches with the ball and it breaks the plane of the goal line extended (outside the pylon). However, he must have at least one foot on the ground when this happens. IF he is diving (in the air), the ball will be spotted where he (ball) crossed the sideline and it will not be a TD.
Exactly how it is for NF.
