I haven't looked it up in the NFL book, but it appears the NFL rule is different in regard to the touching inbounds as opposed to last touching in bounds when the ball breaks the GLE.
Rob Johnson of the Bills made a play last year in KC where he took off for the end zone, leapt in the air at about the 3, was hit as he leapt so he was forced OB, but still had not come down anywhere, and stretched the ball over the GLE. It was originally ruled out at the one, but was changed to a TD after a replay challenge by Buffalo. I forget the R on the game but I remeber his explanation was that he had last touched inbounds, so when the ball crossed the goal line extended, it was a TD.
Go figure.
