If a receiver is knocked out of bounds by a defensive player and the official believes the receiver would have come down in bounds with both feet had he not been contacted by the defender, then it's ruled a completed pass. ---- This rule has been changed for the 2008 season. There is no longer a 'force out' rule in the NFL.

At all levels of amateur football, you must have one foot down in-bounds (and before any other part of the body touches out-of-bounds) to complete a catch.

The NFL requires two feet down.

Normally, 2 of the player's feet must be 'in bounds' for a completion; however, if a player from the other team is pushing him out of bounds, then only one foot is require to be 'in bounds'.
