Was Justin Jefferson's catch the best ever?

Justin Jefferson's catch Sunday - you know the one - was quickly considered by some to best the greatest catch ever made.

There have been so many incredible receptions throughout NFL history but it's hard to argue against Jefferson's being the best. There have been others -- from David Tyree, Santonio Holmes and Julian Edelman -- that led to Super Bowl victories. 

Odell Beckham Jr. had the advantage of his incredible catch in 2014 come during a primetime game.

Dwight Clark came down with "The Catch" in the San Francisco 49ers' epic 1981 NFC Championship Game win over the Dallas Cowboys, 28-27.

The stakes have certainly been higher but considering the circumstances -- fourth-and-18, a defender having two hands on the ball and Jefferson one, the ball somehow avoiding touching the ground -- it's mind-boggling trying to wrap one's mind around the fact Jefferson made that catch.

It's hard to put into words just how good Jefferson's catch was. "Best ever" will have to suffice.
