A pass from A1 is thrown near the intersection of the sideline
and the goal line. A2, running toward the goal line, leaps and possesses the
pass at the 3-yard line and is forcibly:
(b) contacted
from the side by B1 and A2 first contacts the ground out of bounds opposite the
3-yard line;

John,
the casebook play you cite contains the following in explanation.
"the added force in the general direction the player was moving is
not considered a factor affecting his spot of landing".
You are attempting to use an example where the receivers general direction was changed (pushed back) which does not apply to the OP.
