In the NFL, the force out rule was eliminated in 2008. Prior to that, a player could be credited with a catch if they were pushed out of bounds by a defender while in possession of the ball, provided they had established both feet in bounds before being forced out. Since the rule change, a receiver must have both feet in bounds at the time of the catch for it to be considered legal, regardless of whether they are forced out.
