The Minnesota Vikings came from behind to pip the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. This is the Vikings’ seventh successive win in the league this season. And they have one man to thank for it, wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Even Odell Beckham Jr. was in awe.

Jefferson converted a fourth down, late in the fourth quarter, to keep the Minnesota offense on the field against the Buffalo Bills. And what a stunning catch it was.

The NFL World joined OBJ in awe of the catch. But it also stoked a debate over the greatest catch in NFL history.

For this fan, it was the greatest catch of all time.

This user is a fan of the Louisiana State University football program.

For this fan, the catch was physics-defying.

But some fans stood firmly behind OBJ’s catch against the Dallas Cowboys in the 2014 season. Like this fan.

And this fan too.

This is what OBJ had to say about the debate.

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.
