In American football and Canadian football, a reception is part of a play in which a forward pass from behind the line of scrimmage is received (caught) by a player in bounds, who, after the catch, proceeds to either score a touchdown or be downed.
 Yards gained from the receiving play are credited to the player as receiving yards.
 If such a pass is not caught by the receiver, it is called an incomplete pass or simply an incompletion.
The Miracle at Michigan refers to the final play that occurred during the American football game played on September 24, 1994 between the Colorado Buffaloes and Michigan Wolverines at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

In American football, a completion occurs when a receiver successfully catches a pass.
 The three possible outcomes of a pass thrown are completion, incompletion, and interception.
 Statistically, a completed pass is recorded as a pass completion for the player who throws the ball, and as a reception for the player catching the ball.
 The yardage gained is the total yardage gained when the play ends, and may be subdivided into Air Yards, the distance from the line of scrimmage to the spot where the ball was caught, and Yards After Catch, the distance from where the ball was caught to where the play ends or where the player carrying the ball is out of bounds.
