I've officiated football for over 30 years, now in my 26th on the college level. I've worked NCAA playoffs at the Division II and III level. In addition, I've coached at the scholastic level and have been an educator for over 35 years. I have no interest whatsoever in being an NFL official! Ever!
As far as i understand, it's the same as any other play when time runs out. You continue play until the whistle. The ball is alive and in play until the play ends.
A try is,a special period of play. Six points can only be awarded on a touchdown, not a try. Two points.
Line can go down one yard. Beyond that is illegal. A pass behind the line is, I believe, the same - no more than one yard.
What you describe is certainly not a "tackle". Wgat you describe is unnecessary. That's a foul.

I saw the play, heard Pereira. Wasn't quite sure what he meant. It can't be forward progress - which I think was still short - because Jordan on his own went backwards. Had he been hit and pushed back by the defender, then you have forward progress,
Caveat: i have not worked games using replay. Rule 12,Art. 3: I replay has indisputable evidence of a fumble, "it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of recovery. " Without replay, the down is replayed.
Didn't see this nor hear anything about it. You're saying it was "clearly back"; maybe not.
