Commanders’ Treylon Burks wows NFL fans with incredible touchdown catch

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks captivated the NFL world on Sunday night when he made an incredible one-handed touchdown catch against the Denver Broncos.

Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota led the team down the field on a drive that nearly crossed the 5-minute mark. On the 10th play, he threw a loft pass to Burks in the corner of the end zone. Burks raised his right hand and caught the ball over Broncos cornerback Riley Moss.

Burks came down with the ball for the go-ahead touchdown. The Commanders took a 14-13 lead with the score.

NFL fans were left speechless after watching the play. Burks’ catch was quickly compared to the one made by former New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. against the Dallas Cowboys in 2014.

It was those types of plays that Burks was routinely expected to make when the Tennessee Titans selected him in the first round of the 2022 draft. He was selected 18th overall out of Arkansas, but his time with the Titans did not go as planned. He only scored one touchdown in 27 games.

Burks’ appearance with the Commanders on Sunday was only his third game with Washington. He had four receptions for 72 yards as the team entered the matchup.
