Tyreeception

A catch in American football made with one or both hands while the ball is in contact with the player's helmet as they're down either by the natural physics of falling or by contact.

Refers to the catch made by David Tyree of the Ney York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

Wow! That was an insane Tyreeception! He was sandwiched by safeties as he came down with that ball!
