Randy Moss' right foot didn't matter? - New England Patriots Forums

On the game tying TD at the end of regulation: Randy Moss left foot AND HIS LEFT KNEE touched in bounds, so if I understand the rules, this in itself would have constituted a completed pass, regardless of whether he had gotten his right foot down. Can anyone clarify this for me? I tried a little research but, for lack of an official rulebook, I get getting stumped at "two feet inbounds".

From my understanding, it is two touches. Foot, knee. Foot, Elbow, Elbow, Knee. I don't think it matters if it's all on one side.

I believe his left knee landed out of bounds.

What i liked, was the refs had the balls to call Vrabel for holding but let Law bear hug Moss for about 5 seconds in the end zone!

Your understanding is wrong, unless it's been changed recently. One knee == two feet, for quite a while now.

Moss' right foot was in bounds and down when he caught the ball. Then it came up. And his left knee touched OOBs. You have to go in order of events.
