Even among the impossible catches that Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. makes look routine, there are those that still leave you jaw agape. The latest came in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Redskins.
But just like the original "Catch" from a November 2014 matchup against the Cowboys (you can relive that magic here), the Giants lost the game. And that, as far as Beckham is concerned, is all that matters.
"It really doesn't matter; we didn't win," he said, via NorthJersey.com. "[Eli Manning] threw the ball out there and I laid out for it. I tried to catch it, and it is what it is. We lost the game. It's not really something that is important right now."
Beckham's right ... but also, that catch. Even Redskins players, who see Beckham twice a year, were blown away.
"That's not human," left tackle Trent Williams said, via CSNMidAtlantic.com. "That's just an effort that nobody can stop. That man's amazing."
Cornerback Will Blackmon added: "I think he's the only wide receiver in the NFL who makes that catch. Straight up."
And defensive end Jason Hatcher said, "My son, I think he loves Odell Beckham more than he do me. I guess I'm gonna have to go out and buy his jersey. That guy is special. God don't make many like him. He's just a special guy."
But, as Beckham reminds us: the scoreboard is the bottom line. And the win moved the Redskins into first place in the division for the first time since 2012, two full games clear of the last-place Cowboys -- whose fans still have jokes:
