Martavis Bryant’s somersault catch is the best you’ll see (Video)
Pittsburgh’s Martavis Bryant’s touchdown catch is one of the best you’ll see.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant took a 10-yard touchdown reception and turned it into one of the best catches that’s ever been seen. Up 9-0 on the Cincinnati Bengals in the third quarter, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw a perfect pass to the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown.
On further review, it’s clear that Bryant took a routine catch and turned it into one of the best catches ever. Cognizant of the new rule that a catch must be completed in its entirely, Bryant does a somersault in order to catch the ball and keep control as it’s slipping from his grasp.
Really, words can’t describe what he did.
The touchdown put the Steelers up 15-0 in the second half.
Bryant, who was called out by his quarterback earlier in the week for not playing hard, certainly made up for any hard feelings with that catch.
However the game ends up, Bryant’s catch will live on in NFL history. It will most certainly be up there with the Odell Beckham Jr. catch and the off the helmet grab that David Tyree made in Super Bowl XLII.
