The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Buffalo Bills 33-30 in overtime on Sunday at Highmark Stadium, and star wide receiver Justin Jefferson had the game of his life.

The 23-year-old caught 10 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown, and his biggest catch of the game came on 4th-and-18 from the Minnesota 27-yard line with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter with the Vikings trailing 27-23.

Jefferson jumped up and grabbed what likely would have been a Kirk Cousins interception and hauled it in with one hand to keep Minnesota's drive alive:

After the game, Jefferson said he couldn't believe he made the grab, which has been dubbed the catch of the year.

"It felt like it was unreal. Like a movie,'' Jefferson said, per ESPN. "The big games, the big moments, when people are looking for you to make a play, that's what I like the most.''

Jefferson now has his third straight season with 1,000-plus receiving yards, and there are still eight games left for the star wideout to smash his career high of 1,616 yards, which he set last season.

The Vikings moved to 8-1 on the season with the win.
