Justin Jefferson made one of the best catches in NFL history to spark the Vikings' 33-30 win over the Bills in Week 10.
The play occurred on the Vikings' final offensive drive of regulation. The team was facing a fourth-and-18 when Kirk Cousins heaved up a deep shot to Jefferson.
It looked like the ball would be slightly overthrown at the least. It also looked like Cam Lewis would have a shot to intercept it.

Instead, Jefferson came down with it. Even his Vikings teammates were shocked that he was able to do that.
The NFL released a mic'd-up video that revealed Minnesota players' reactions to Jefferson's big play. Suffice to say, they were in disbelief over the big play.
"WHAT?!"

"Bro, he's different," Vikings edge rusher Za'Darius Smith said after seeing the one-handed grab.
Meanwhile, Jefferson's fellow receiver Adam Thielen could hardly put words together to describe the play.
"What!? What?" he said while shaking Jefferson's hand.

The catch proved to be a crucial one for the Vikings. It kept alive their final offensive drive of regulation and while they didn't score, they got to the one-inch line before turning the ball over on downs. From there, the Vikings recovered a Bills fumble for a go-ahead touchdown on a game-changing play.
Still, as important as that fumble was, Jefferson's final drive catches were perhaps equally as critical. He was the primary reason the Vikings got that close to the goal line and was certainly the driving force on the Minnesota offense.
