Adam Thielen makes highlight catches all the time, but this one might just be the best of his career. Early in the third quarter, with the Vikings trailing the Cowboys 16-7, Thielen fought through contact to make an unreal one-handed, toe-dragging touchdown catch in the back of the end zone.

Here it is, in all its glory:
