We've highlighted Giants receiver Odell Beckham's skills before, but this is unreal. Check out the athleticism he employs to snag this ball with one hand and still make it into the end zone. Even Al Michaels couldn't believe what he'd seen, and he's seen everything.

Best catch I’ve ever seen too! Bar none.
I still think the Antonio Freeman over the shoulder around the back on MNF was a better catch - that was like 8-10 years ago so most people have forgotten it. Think it was against the Vikings.
Tyree’s catch was virtually impossible to make, and Eli was almost down when me made the throw.
Well Tyree’s catch was certainly a more significant catch in the big scheme of things.
You can’t add what the QB was doing when you’re rating “the catch.”
Everyone who is judging purely the catch - not the situation, not the magnitude of the game, not whether they won or lost - is unanimous that this is the greatest catch. Pure catch. Period.
Everyone who wants to add in situation, who won, etc, is not. I think we’re either talking about a catch, or not. I think there’s a difference between the most important catch and the best pure catch. Tyree’s was more important. This one was more freakishly great.
I certainly would rate it as the most acrobatic catch.
No one has forgotten it, and no one thinks it rivals the catch last night - but you. It was a great play, but more for it's flukish unusual nature than it's freakish athletic nature. A great moment, but no where near the pure catch of last night.
He is going to be an absolute beast.
And in a sense, isn't that what makes a catch great? The true unbelievable athletic nature of the catch - the body control, the strength of the hands, the concentration, and in this case, there where with all to make sure he came down in bounds on top of everything else.
Imagine how Victor Cruz must feel today. He’s been out all year and he is now an afterthought.
“...Anything that beats the Cowboys is all right in my book....”
Didn’t quite work out that way last night did it?
As long as they lose their last game, I’m happy.
He had been grabbed and knocked off balance at about the five yard line, which makes the catch even more remarkable.
But when he's healthy again, most opponents will have to double down on both of them, meaning lots of easy catches for the other wideout, tight ends and running backs. Cruz in the slot will not be covered by linebackers anymore, that's for sure.
That might be better than last weekend's catch, but not many are or ever will be.
As a Florida fan, I still get sick to my stomach about what happened to him that day.
Some horrible news just came across, Eric Berry has Lymphoma, he was a great player at Tennessee.
