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.

Greatest catch against the Cowboys since Dwight Clark.

[Lazamataz]

This is awful.

So, what was the flag for?

Defensive pass interference. Prior to the catch, the Dallas defender interfered with Beckham ... And Beckham STILL made that circus catch. Wow.

[Mr_Peter]

Stikum... Crazy Glue more like it.

[Alberta's Child]

Wow.

John Madden would have been all over him for even trying to make that catch. Madden said for years that a good receiver will always attempt to catch a ball with two hands.

Anything that beats the Cowboys is all right in my book.

[hinckley buzzard]

How big are his hands. Anybody know?

[OKSooner]

If I hadn't just seen that on national TV I'd have said it was computer-generated.

This clip doesn't show it except for the flag coming in right at the very last microsecond, but he was mugged on the play too and still made the catch. One-handed. Congratulations to this guy on the greatest catch ever.

Check out ESPN's homepage before they change it.

Al “drink driver” Michaels and Chris Collingsworthless won’t shut-up about it.

I think he knew he had a "free" play since he had been interfered with, so he tried for the one handed catch.He does practice them:

Odell Beckham, Jr. Pulled Off Some Miraculous Catches In Warm-Ups, Too

Can't believe he stopped the ball's momentum with that little of a grip and brought it in.

Amazing!

Sometimes the ball hits your hand “just so” that it sticks. Once (MANY years ago) I had that happen in a playground game. We used a “peewee” sized football, and our QB threw me a pass a bit behind me. I reached back with my left hand (I am right-handed) and it just stuck in my hand. Thank you, Jesus. (But there were no acrobatics as with the Beckham catch.)

"Al “drink driver” Michaels and Chris Collingsworthless won’t shut-up about it."

I like them a lot better than the Terico/Gruden duo.

[Perdogg]

Why don’t you worry about your team - which after Thanksgiving day, will be out of the playoff picture.

[Perdogg]

I cannot stand either one of them and I could care less that Al is a friend of Rush.

[JennysCool]

I’m with you there!

[eyedigress]

I’ll bet that guy holding the video camera behind him is pissed he didn’t record it.

Well if they ever have to drop a child from a burning building without the benefit of a inflatable pad, I know who I’m calling.
