For this fan, the catch was physics-defying.

The Vikings trailed the Bills by four points late in the fourth quarter. On a mind-boggling fourth and 18 snap, the Vikings QB Kirk Cousins threw a Hail Mary towards wide receiver Justin Jefferson. The Bills cornerback Cam Lewis tried to intercept the ball but Jefferson jumped ahead of him to claim an almost impossible catch. And it kept the Vikings’ offense on the field. Surely the Catch of the year, even if not all time.
