NFL ace CeeDee Lamb's incredible one-handed catch the difference as Cowboys beat Giants

We've already seen some incredible catches this season, and CeeDee Lamb became the latest NFL star to make the highlight reel on Monday night.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver stunned fans as he effortlessly made a one-handed catch right in the corner of the endzone to score what ended up being the winning touchdown against the New York Giants. With the game tied at 13-13, Lamb managed to keep grab Cooper Rush's lofted pass despite being tucked away in the corner of the field.

Lamb reached out and grabbed it with one hand, which silenced critics that called him out earlier in the game. The receiver dropped what looked like an easy catch when he was wide open and heading for the endzone, but Lamb responded in the best way.

The Cowboys no.88 has his head in his hands during the second quarter, as he dropped Rush's pass and wasted what would've been a 60-yard gain, and possibly a touchdown. Fans couldn't believe that the catch wasn't made, with some even referring to him as 'butterfingers'.

But those fans had nothing to say in the third, as the catch couldn't have been more difficult, but he made it and did so without any effort. There have been some amazing catches within the first three game weeks, with Pittsburgh Steelers rookie George Pickens already leading the debate for 'catch of the year'.

Lamb's catch will be up there, but whereas the Steelers still went on to lose, the Cowboys won as a result of the touchdown. It was the third and final touchdown of the game, with running backs for either side scoring before Lamb stepped up.

Saquon Barkley scored the first touchdown of the game in the second quarter after a brilliant rush, but Ezekiel Elliott responded with a run of his own just five minutes later to tie the game once more. Both sides also missed a field goal attempt in the first half, as they could not be separated.

It was always going to take a magical moment to win it, and that's exactly what Lamb produced. The Giants pushed for a quick reply, as they needed a touchdown and a PAT to take the game to overtime. However, a desperate pass from Daniel Jones was intercepted late on, and the Cowboys ran down the clock.

Even NBA star LeBron James was stunned with Lamb's heroics, as he tweeted: "OMG CEEDEE! WOW!" Lamb ended the game with eight receptions for a combined 87 yards, and of course helped himself to one memorable touchdown.
