What was up with not stopping the clock on out of bounds? (1 Viewer)

I just looked to see if the rules have changed. According to what I found, the NFL rule is that if a player goes out of bounds making forward progress, the clock stops until the ball is placed at the line of scrimmage by the referee.

Yet at least twice today, I saw the clock continue to run after our player clearly went out of bounds, once a running back and once a receiver. I didn't even see a ref do the windmill motion to indicate he thought the player had been tackled or stopped in bounds. What the heck is going on?

Only stays stopped in last five minutes of game and last two minutes of half of memory serves. Otherwise once the ball is spotted clock starts again.

Yes, that's correct, but it was still running between the end f the play to when the ball was spotted. It's supposed to stop until the ball is spotted, and it did not on either play.
