Odell Beckham Jr. pulled off another great one-handed catch to lead to his TD and celebrated in his usual fashion...

The New York Giants continued their push for the play-offs with a deserved 17-6 victory over the Detroit Lions.

New York, who are now 10-4 for the season, put up another impressive defensive performance to limit Detroit to just two field goals.

However, it was the Giants' superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr who stole the headlines with a magnificent one-handed grab late in the fourth quarter.

Leading Detroit 10-6, New York quarterback Eli Manning led an eight play, 72-yard drive downfield. From the four yard line, Manning looked right to find Beckham Jnr, who reeled in the pass, before quickly changing hands and getting the ball into the end zone.

Beckham Jnr then found the end zone once more, running in a touchdown from the Lions' next punt, but it was called back for an illegal block and didn't count.

The score left Matthew Stafford and the Lions with just over five minutes for a comeback, but the home side's defence stepped up once more and the Giants held on for the win.
