Touchdown Rule: a question

[Snake~eyes]

Basically there were two options on this play that the Referee could have made.


1) The plane does not extend across the world on a looseball situation. Had the ball crossed inside the pylon before going out of bounds it would have been a touchback and Patriots ball.

2) The ball never crossed inside the pylon and would be ruled Broncos ball at the spot where the ball crossed the goaline.

The original ruling was the 2nd, there was not conclusive evidence to overturn the ruling on the field.
