What happens if a ball hits the camera on the goal post and bounces back in?

It looked at first to me that the ball being kicked by the Jets kicker hit the upright and then bounced back in the field of play. What would happen if it hit the camera and bounced back in the field of play?

Thanks Doc.

the doc is right

if you notice - the camera is set up PAST the crossbar so if a FG hits it that means it would have hit a spot PAST it - and as doc said - it would be gooooooooood

the coaches know this, too so if it happens you wouldn't hear any complaining from them. the fans of the other team - YES! but most fans are ignorant of the rules anyway

i always wondered the same thing but u guys are right. i saw that happen for the first time in the cal / asu gm when cal's kicker hit the camera and it bounced back onto the field, it was ruled good.
