With all the weird rules regarding what is a catch and what’s not in the NFL today, Kevin White made a catch that was a no-doubter.
Despite trailing 31-17 with 3:32 left on the clock, White, the Chicago Bears’ rookie wide receiver, showed no signs of giving up to the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, he knew he needed to do whatever it took to help lead his team on some semblance of a comeback.
That all started with one heck of a catch.
Ok, @mrkevinwhite!
This one-handed, over the CB catch is 👌 #CHIvsDAL https://t.co/ExwTbviCuI

We see you Kevin White, we see you.
Bears fans have to be happy to see this kind of athleticism from White, who was the 7th overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft but missed all of last season with a stress fracture in his shin.
Not only was White trying to help lead the Bears on a comeback Sunday, he also wanted to upstage Ezekiel Elliott on his own turf.
Goin 🆙@EzekielElliott completely hurdles the defender! 😱 #CHIvsDAL

Both plays are impressive in their own right. White’s catch isn’t easy at all due to the fact that he had to reach over and partially around a defender. Then again, Elliott had to show off his hops and jump OVER a defender.
It’s hard to argue which of the two is better, so instead let’s say they were the best plays on their respective teams instead.
