Before the 08-09 season, this would be considered a catch. The rules have changed this year and unless the player gets both feet inbounds, it is not a catch. Good rule change IMO as the offense has too many rules in their favor already.

What is the best catch ever in baseball?
There have been many great catches in baseball history, making it difficult to pinpoint the "best" one. However, some iconic catches that are often mentioned include Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder catch in the 1954 World Series and Spider-Man-like catches by Ken Griffey Jr. and Jim Edmonds. Ultimately, the best catch is subjective and can vary depending on personal opinion.
Has a quarterback ever accidentally passed to a referee?
I know that quarterbacks accidentally throw the ball to a referee because they were in the way when trying to throw to a receiver, but the referee is not supposed to catch the ball, just try to get away from it. So yes, quarterbacks have PASSED to a referee on accident, but I'm not sure if a ref has ever CAUGHT it (I'm assuming not, unless the ref was out of bounds and not able to affect the play).
