Obj’s might have been more iconic, but I think the fact it was on 4th and long and that he literally took it from the defenders TWO hands with ONE of his own make this a better catch

[@limone2464]

Odells catch was a Defensive pass interference. No way Jjetas was better

[@Mommaalexmilk]

@@limone2464 actually jj catch was better. Odel catch was in first quarter and they lost. Jefferson's catch literally won them the game if we being real. 4th and 18 and if he didn't catch it it's game over.

David Tyree helmet catch in the Super Bowl

[@alexandershambrock6643]

I think the most underrated catch is Julian Edelman's catch in Super Bowl 51. Everyone I was watching with thought it was incomplete, but then the replay happens and even Troy and Joe are like "WTF, he actually caught it?"

Credit to Diggs to making one of the best catches of the year one handed over his head same game leaping up a mile to make it.

Oh yeah, Diggs' catch was incredible. The ball was rifled into his hand and he still brought it down. Amazing.

[@Nightwishmaster]

It's the same with the Steelers. Johnson and Pickens both made two wild ass catches that should easily in the "best catches of the year" category but the Steelers offense is so bad everyone has already forgotten or didn't even see them in the first place.

So explain to me what happened the remaining of this Vikes drive. It didn’t even end in a TD. They turned it over on downs. If it wasn’t for Josh Allen goofing up the snap, that catch would still be an awesome catch but not what ppl are making it out to be. It’s impact really wasn’t that big. Heck of a catch tho. Most impactful catch and best catch should be in two separate categories in my opinion.

[@masterwudong9824]

JJ's catch has a few factors going for vs OBJ's it to make the argument for greatest catch ever. #1) Contest of strength. JJ was able to rip it out of a defenders two hands with only just his one. OBJ had to make the catch with once he was able to create separation #2) The circumstances. Many who are in favor of OBJ's like to throw out the phrase "in a vacuum" which has its merits, but football isn't "in a vacuum" and OBJ's catch didn't result in anything besides a TD in a game the Giants lost. JJ's catch was 4th and 18, which saved the game. Given that it was a do or die situation, this makes JJ's catch better. #3) Body Control. Like Digg's catch from earlier in the game, which was similar to OBJ's, it's an extension of body and strong hands/fingers, but that's where it ends. JJ's was more physically demanding because it had the extension of body, strong hands and he had to contort his body in such a way to be able to protect ball from hitting the ground.

[@rickt1951]

I going with Julian Edelman, his catch in the super-bowl is my pick.
