A little late but,
I know that this is a little late but I've never had someone give me a clear answer about this question (Also I tried to search for it on here but nothing came up):
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/7114/outofbounds.jpg How is this keeping both feet inbounds? I thought both had to touch the ground to be a complete pass? |
I'm no football ref; but it sure seems to me that it's impossible to tell from a still photo. Sorry partner. Time to let it go, Senator.
|
Alright lets try video, look at about 26 seconds you can clearly see his foot not touching?
Video Of Steelers WR Santonio Holmes Super Bowl 43 Touchdown Catch | Steelers Depot Blog |
Both feet have to touch in bounds while the player has possession of the ball. This still photo only captures a moment, not the entire play. There is no requirement for the feet to remain in bounds.
|
Here's another angle of when he first catches/gains possession of the ball:

It's been almost a year, so I've forgotten. What was the call on the field?
|
The reciever controlled the football, came down on both toes, inbounds and it was ruled a touchdown.

Still pictures in this case won't tell you much. I'll go with the calling official on this play. |
I understand still pictures wont tell you everything, that's why i posted the video. The still pictures give you reference for where the foot is at certain parts of the catch and the video links it all together.

Looks to me like video confirms the call. Sorry, partner. This is just more evidence that still photos don't prove anything. |
