Here are two scenarios to consider:

1. The post for the goal post is in the ground right behind the end line but the padding is wide enough to be in the end zone. A receiver catches a pass while body is in contact with the padding. Is this a completed catch?
2. A has the ball at B's 5 yard line. A1 drops back to pass and throws into the end zone where the ball bounces off the upright and into the hands of A88. Touchdown? Incomplete pass?

I believe we have an incomplete pass in both cases because the ball or player are in contact with something that is out of bounds thus making the ball dead.
