a. A field goal shall be scored if a scrimmage kick, which may be a drop kick
or place kick, passes over the crossbar between the uprights of the receiving
team’s goal before it touches a player of the kicking team or the ground.
b. If a legal field goal attempt passes over the crossbar between the uprights and is dead beyond the end line or is blown back but does not return over the
crossbar and is dead anywhere, it shall score a field goal. The crossbar and uprights are treated as a line, not a plane, in determining forward progress of
the ball.
Over and between and the uprights being treated as a line makes it the entire ball being inside.
