I saw that on replays last night and wondered the same thing. I didn't watch the game so I don't know if it was there throughout or not.

I was watching the game on and off (more off). I must admit I totally forgot about it until I saw a replay of the TD this AM.

If its like college, when the SJ/FJ has the goal line, I have seen them pull the pylon back out of the way.

I ask this with all due respect. What exactly is the point of this? The position of the pylon is cleary defined in NF and I have been lead to believe it is in NCAA and NFL rules as well. Considering where this play ended up (with the offensive player diving for the corner) it seems obvious (to me anyway) that the pylon should have been there. And if I am incorrect, I certainly appreciate someone pointing out why it is a good idea to move the pylon back.

mere fault by the official which is accountable for the placement. only one pylon was wrong.

seconds after the td, one official places the pylon in the normal position.

The announcers on ESPN noticed immediately when the first replay was shown.
