You can’t not be feeling this catch from Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen.
Adam Thielen‘s ridiculous touchdown grab would even make CeeDee Lamb a tad jealous.
Earlier in the ball game, we thought we saw the best catch of the 2020 NFL season when the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver hauled it in from Andy Dalton. As it turns out, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver decided to take it up a notch with a spectacular grab of his own. This is a tight game between two NFC teams fighting to stay relevant. So which catch was better?
You need to watch both grabs on infinite repeat to be sure
What makes Lamb’s touchdown grab earlier in the ball game so magnificent was how he contorted his body while falling towards the ground. What makes Thielen’s so unbelievable was it being of the one-handed variety and knowing exactly where to put his feet to make sure the touchdown counted. Ultimately, these are two different displays of elite athleticism.
Lamb’s grab may have required a tad more athleticism, but you are never going to see a play with as much football savvy or awareness like Thielen’s touchdown catch. So if you are a Cowboys fan, you love Lamb’s more. Should you live to do a Skol chant, no doubt Thielen’s was the better catch. But if you have no allegiances to either team or root for one of their rivals, I would say flip a coin.
How truly incredible it is that we get two of the best catches all season long from the same game.
