Doesn't a touchdown sound more like "beyond" not behind, I never saw a team score 6 going backwards.

If they wanted the clock to start on the snap regardless of whether a safety/touchdown why wouldn't 3.4.3d read "the ball becomes deal in the endzone" instead of restricting to "behind" the goal line?

If you're the defense, the ball was dead behind your goal line.

Snap.
