The New England Patriots have been burned time and time again by incredible, insane, out-of-this-universe catches in various Super Bowls they've been a part of (including two losses).

Thanks to Julian Edelman, they were finally on the receiving end of one. And it might be one of the greatest catches in NFL history.

With the Pats down eight and facing a 1st-and-10 from their own 36, Tom Brady threw up a pass to Julian Edelman that seemed to hang in the air forever. As three Falcons defenders converged, Edelman went between the legs of one of them. As the ball nearly hit the ground, he miraculously snagged it OUT OF MID-AIR.

There are no words to describe that catch accurately. Given how much time was left and what an insane piece of receiving that was, it's an all-timer of epic proportions.

It now joins some of the catches the Pats were one the wrong end of, such as:

The Helmet Catch.

The Mario Manningham Catch.

The Jermaine Kearse juggling grab (even though it led to an eventual Patriots win).

Just incredible.
