During the Atlanta Falcons exhibition game against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night, wide receiver Mohamed Sanu made a ridiculous one-handed catch.

In the Falcons first possession of the game, Sanu extended his right arm and pulled in the pass by quarterback Matt Ryan on second-down.

Although Sanu’s 5-yard catch was impressive, he was two yards short of the first down.

Two plays after Sanu’s catch, the Falcons went on to score the first of two touchdowns against the Dolphins.

The Falcons lost their first exhibition game of the season 23-20 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
