Puka makes an all time catch

[Memento]

As far as OBJ, I've become more of a fan of him since he was on the Rams Super Bowl team...but Garrett Wilson had the better one-handed touchdown catch.

Puka's is arguably the best of all time, for several reasons:
- In the rain
- Backhanded
- DB's hand also on the ball
- NOT a "goal line" lob / fade pass
^^this is the one reason I haven't heard yet: Puka made a side-line grab of a ball that was coming in hot, a 31-yd pass that was probably over 40-yds in the air
Stack all these together & it's a good case for "all time" catch.

One of the best catches I've ever seen. The fact that he did it in the rain only makes it crazier.

Well, Puka did say he wanted to be the Very Best WR.

I would like him to last more than 9 seasons. So I like that the number of targets has lowered since his injury. Staffords tendancy to lock on to his favorite receiver wares them out. I like the frequency of the personel changes. I remember an interview where Kupp mentioned how nobody seems to realize how hard it is to run route after route wether you get the ball or not.

Unsure if the DBs arm wasn't in the position it was he could have made that catch.
Possibly could have. But the DB helped make that a catch.

That's an interesting observation. It does also look to me as if the DB's hand did in fact somewhat support the ball, where if that didn't happen the ball would have dropped to the ground before Puka could get a grasp on it.

And, this just makes the catch that more improbable and the best ever I've seen!

Funny, I see puka has the ball in his hand, then the DB dislodges it a little so puka pulls down to his body to corral it. Maybe not. But either way puka was pulling it down to himself with or without the DB
