What makes football excitinG? The spectacular plays that the best athletes make regularly. That's precisely what Golden Tate provided for the New York Giants fans on Monday when he made a circus catch against the Dallas Cowboys.

Watch below. It was a superb showcase of connection for both Tate and quarterback Daniel Jones as they moved the chains to the end zone. It was a spectacular reception that showcased Tate's hands and insane vertical.

What made the pass most impressive was the fact that he had a defender on his back who was trying to stop him from completing the reception. It's an impressive show of upper body strength from Tate as he managed to corral the ball from going out.

It hasn't been a great season for the Giants so far, but there have been highlights coming from the offense every now and then. Fans will be hoping for more of those as the season goes on. Perhaps sprinkled in with more wins too.
