I’m old and watch lots of football. Why the fuck do I not know the answer to the following question, and why isn’t it easy to research?:
Scenario: player is rushing forward and toward the sideline. He jumps from the 50 yard line extending the ball forward and away from his body. The ball crosses over the out of bounds line at the 49. He keeps extending the ball forward. When his foot finally actually lands Out of bounds, the ball is at the 46.
Where should the referee place the ball? The 49 or the 46?
And is this rule different than in the NFL?
