Treylon Burks, take a bow.
The Washington Commanders receiver entered his name into the catch of the year conversation on ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 13, hauling in an unbelievable touchdown grab against the Denver Broncos.
Like most things this time of year, seeing is believing. Take a look:
With a corner fade in the end zone, Marcus Mariota lofted one up for Burks, who made the one-handed catch despite falling backwards and taking contact from Broncos cornerback, Riley Moss – who was, fittingly, ‘Mossed’ on the play.
It was an exclamation point on Burks’ second career touchdown and his first since 2022.
The play had a remarkable resemblance to the famous Odell Beckham Jr. catch for the New York Giants on ‘Sunday Night Football’ on Nov. 23, 2014. Nearly 11 years ago to the day, Burks proved that history does repeat itself sometimes.
Beckham was quick to point out the connection on X, even including that Burks is wearing the same No. 13.
Of course, Beckham’s catch was on a longer throw, and he snagged it after the ball was beyond his head, but that doesn’t take away from the degree of difficulty on this one.
While SEC rivalries have been all the rage over Thanksgiving weekend, this Arkansas Razorback and LSU Tiger can share a moment in the spotlight.
After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
