The New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman pulled off one of the most remarkable catches in Super Bowl history on Sunday when he bobbled a 23-yard pass multiple times with three defenders around him before securing the ball.

OH MY GOD, JULIAN EDELMAN! #SB51 #Patriots https://t.co/YtvHwsaCbT

The play came with just 2:22 left in the fourth quarter and the Patriots down 20-28. Later on the same drive, the team scored a touchdown and completed a two-point conversion, pushing the game to overtime, where they won on a game-winning drive.

But seriously, come on. This catch was freaking nuts.
