Was Odell Beckham Jr.'s Catch Better Than David Tyree's?

New York Giants rookie wideout Odell Beckham Jr.'s unbelievable catch against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night raised an intriguing question.

Was Beckham's grab better than David Tyree's crazy catch against the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII?

The two catches came in different circumstances, but given that they were both unbelievable plays by Giants wide receivers, it's an interesting debate.

Tyree's catch certainly deserves bonus points given the situation. Trailing 14-10 with just more than a minute to play, New York faced a 3rd-and-5 from its own 44-yard line. Giants quarterback Eli Manning miraculously kept the play alive by getting out trouble and then zinging the ball to Tyree. Then the wideout made one of the best catches you will ever see in the biggest moment possible:

New York went on to score the go-ahead touchdown a few plays later, ending New England's bid at a perfect season. 

In case you need a refresher, here's the incredible play Beckham made on Sunday:

The 43-yard touchdown gave the Giants a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter, but the Cowboys rallied to win the game, 31-28.

Obviously, the impact of the two catches couldn't be more different. Tyree's catch helped the Giants win a Super Bowl, while Beckham's catch wasn't even enough to help New York beat Dallas in a regular-season game.

It's tough not to consider the situation, but for this debate, fans should judge the two catches solely based on the degree of difficulty. Both players had to battle the defense to make the catch, so it comes down to which player's grab was tougher.

Each play had a quirky feature to it. Tyree had to pin the ball to his helmet, while Beckham made that catch with just three fingers, as former NFL wide receiver Donte Stallworth pointed out.

All of us occasionally get caught up in the moment. Now that there has been time to process Beckham's catch, does it rank above Tyree's grab?
