Jermaine Kearse made one of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history, a juggling sideline grab in the final two minutes of Super Bowl XLIX that bounced off his hands, legs and hands again before he pulled the ball into his body for a 33-yard gain to get his Seattle Seahawks within scoring range.

Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia was on the other end of that catch, the New England Patriots defensive coordinator at the time, and had some admitted heart palpitations as Kearse quickly popped to his feet only to be tackled short of the end zone.
