Odell Beckham's circus catch made Tom Brady laugh out loud

Count Tom Brady among those thoroughly impressed by what Odell Beckham Jr. did Sunday night.

The New York Giants wide receiver made what's widely being called the catch of the year in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys — one that left Brady, who's seen his fair share of ridiculous catches this season, awestruck.

"Yeah, I saw it, and I couldn't believe it," the New England Patriots quarterback said Monday on WEEI's "Dennis and Callahan." I kind of started laughing out loud. Ironically ... just before that they were showing those catches of him in the pregame, and then all of a sudden he did it again. To do it on a ball like that -- the ball was almost behind his head, and it barely even bobbled in his hand. It like stuck and then just started rolling and he got it to his body. That was unbelievable. That guy is going to be a hell of a player."

The touchdown catch was the high point of a breakout night for Beckham. The rookie out of LSU hauled in a career-high 10 passes for 146 yards and two scores in a losing effort.
