Danno is correct. Toe in but heel out equals "out of bounds" and the same goes for heel in, toe out.

BUT,

In this case, Jimmy Graham's knee was down before the toe hit. Should have been called a touchdown. Period.

Yes but you can make a great catch with just your toes in bounds and your next complete foot or knee lands out of bounds its a catch. They make several of these highlights on ESPN weekly.

Another case this was a TD is that you DO NOT have to have both feet in bounds you can have a foot and a knee in which case its a TD they got it wrong by over looking his knee.

That pic is after his toe touched. The replay clearly showed his toe hit the line before his knee hit.

They explained the toe hitting one blade on white grass during the game and replay after replay... but his left foot and left knee let alone his ass where all in bounds before his toe when out of bounds...

A knee counts as a catch.

I dunno about this particular call, which I thought was a touchdown, but I said this elsewhere --I don't know who they were, but I think that this particular officiating crew today seemed really unprepared for the fast pace and envelope-pushing style of the modern pro football game...it was kinda like they were a bit "behind" the whole game, or couldn't handle it, including bad spots of the ball, phantom flags (picked up, "there is no foul on the play"), that weird false start on Drew, and on the field they seemed very confused about the TD play where the Titans QB held the ball over the pylon, etc. They just didn't seem like they could handle the pace and speed of the game. And kicking it to review is not going to overturn the call on the field unless it's totally conclusive, so there was a lot of stuff going on that was just kinda doubtful or seemed like they couldn't keep up with what was happening on the field. Calls on both sides, in fact.

Yes it does, but the replay showed his toe touched BEFORE his knee touched.

As I saw it, his whole body was in first.
Tip of right foot? Barely if at all.
Knee down first. Whole body in. Keeping possession of ball the whole time.
