They need to change these out of bounds stretching the ball rules. If Jackson stretched the ball out before stepping out does the ball get placed there .? On sideline plays it seems not to work that way. But on dives toward the endzone with the players body in the air way out of bounds, as long as you hit the plylon with the ball its a TD.
The rule is where the ball is when the body crosses the plane of the boundary line. But this is really difficult to determine without more advanced video replay.
