Move over, Odell Beckham Jr. Tom Brady can make one-handed catches too. The future Hall of Famer was sitting on the sidelines during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' game against the New York Jets when he made a terrific one-handed catch.

Quarterback Zach Wilson threw a ball out of bounds as the pocket closed quickly.

The ball went well out of bounds and spiraled towards the Buccaneers' quarterback, who was sitting on the bench. The quarterback was ready for it and caught the pass one-handed while sitting behind a coach.

One could argue that Brady made the catch with a defender in his face.

Many players might have celebrated what they had done in the spur of the moment, but Brady didn't flinch.

He immediately turned around, pointed at a fan, and threw the ball to them before returning to the game.

Of course, the score of the game may have had an effect on Brady's demeanor. When the incident occurred, the Bucs were leading 28-24 in the fourth quarter.

But for the vast majority of the game, the Buccaneers were trailing the Jets. After completing a comeback and watching the Jets' sputter, the future Hall of Famer was focused on the task at hand.

Perhaps if the game had been more in the Buccaneers' favor, Brady would have been in a better mood to celebrate.

Instead, the quarterback treated the catch like any other and tossed the ball into the stands with the same level of excitement of an office worker stacking a pile of papers.

Zach Wilson goes toe-to-toe with Tom Brady

Heading into the game, most didn't expect much of a battle between the two teams.

The Buccaneers' quarterback has manhandled the New York Jets for the entirety of his career and one expected no different in this game.

Of course, there was plenty of excitement for fans watching the Bucs-Jets game for a number of reasons. The Buccaneers were getting manhandled by the Jets at one point.

Antonio Brown had just taken off his shoulder pads and shirt while jogging off the field in his last seconds with the team.

However, rookie quarterback Zach Wilson was more than game, leading his team to an almost upset by going 19 of 33 for 234 yards and a touchdown.

Tom Brady was 34 of 50 for 410 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

It was a surprisingly thrilling affair that spawned multiple headlines. One quiet takeaway that was overshadowed by Antonio Brown was Wilson's performance in the game and over the back half of the season.

According to CBS Sports, Wilson had four total touchdowns and nine interceptions to begin the season. In his final seven games, the quarterback had nine total touchdowns and two interceptions.

If that pattern continues into 2022, the Jets could be the surprise team of the season.
