The title of this list speaks for itself. If you're looking for the most amazing catches in Super Bowl history you've come to the right place.
I could go on about how the Super Bowl is a place where the game's biggest stars shine the brightest. And how sometimes it's the guys you've never heard of who become heroes with one miraculous catch on the biggest stage of their career.
But I think it's best if we just skip all of that fluff and get right to the action, the reason you clicked this link in the first.
Scroll down for eight of the most spectacular Super Bowl snags.
Lynn Swann, Super Bowl X
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann had several miraculous catches against the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl X, including his final 64-yard snag that gave the Steelers' a 21-10 lead in the fourth. However, it's the juggling 53-yarder over Dallas DB Mark Washington that is most fondly remembered.
“What's it been, 25 years?” Washington told the Post-Gazette in ’01. “I’m still seeing his catches on TV. I keep looking for him to drop one, but he never does.”
Swann finished with 161 receiving yards and became the first wide receiver to be named Super Bowl MVP.
Still, the Hall of Fame WR wishes he could've turned this play into six points. “I’ve always said if I had done it right, I would have caught the ball the first time, came down and kept running for a touchdown,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2001.

David Tyree, Super Bowl XLII
The scene is Super Bowl XLII. The undefeated New England Patriots have a 14-10 lead over the New York Giants, who are on their own 44-yard line. There is 1:15 remaining on the clock and the G-Men need five yards on 3rd down to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive.
Eli Manning takes the snap from the shotgun formation and is almost immediately engulfed by a plethora of Patriots, including Richard Seymour, Adalius Thomas, and Jarvis Green, who grabs Manning by the shoulder while Seymour hangs on to the back of his jersey.
Somehow Eli escapes, and throws a 32-yard heave over the middle of the field.
Enter: David Tyree and "The Helmet Catch."

Mario Manningham, Super Bowl XLVI
Four years after David Tyree's "Helmet Catch" in Super Bowl XLII came Mario Manningham's sideline snag that catapulted the Giants to yet another Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
This time around, Eli Manning and the Giants were trailing 17-15 and backed up inside their own 10-yard line with under four minutes to play. Manning dropped back on first down and threw an absolute seed along the sidelines, in between two Patriots defenders, right in front of the New England bench.
The recipient of the 38-yard seed: Mario Manningham.

Santonio Holmes, Super Bowl XLIII
Ben Roethlisberger's 6-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds remaining on the clock is arguably the best catch and throw combination in Super Bowl history.
It's also the most controversial.
Arizona Cardinals fans will tell you that Holmes' right toe never really dragged the ground, but we're not here to put the play under a microscope. The call on the field was a touchdown and it was possibly the sweetest touchdown catch of all time, especially when you consider the circumstances.

Jermaine Kearse, Super Bowl XLIX
If only Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver Jermaine Kearse had been able to get up and fall into the endzone after this circus catch.
Because we all know what happened just moments after he put Seattle on the doorstep of victory.

Julio Jones, Super Bowl LI
Look at that picture. How the hell did Julio Jones not only pluck that ball out of the air, but also manage to get both feet in bounds? Unbelievable.
Also, notice how many of these amazing catches in the Super Bowl happen to come against the Pats?
I think about this amazing catch all the time. I really wish the Falcons had won that Super Bowl.. @juliojones_11 pic.twitter.com/BTO7dxtnpd
Julian Edelman, Super Bowl LI
For all the times that the New England Patriots and their fans have seen an opponent make a ridiculous catch in the Super Bowl, Julian Edelman got one back last year. And it couldn't have come at a better time.
With the Patriots trailing the Falcons 28-20 and the two minute warning rapidly approaching, Tom Brady threw a pass over the middle which was tipped, and then, somehow, corralled by a diving Edelman for a 23-yard gain.
After Edelman's incredible display of concentration, reflexes and finger tip strength, the Pats would find the endzone, complete the two-point conversion, and go on to win in overtime - capping off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.
Happy birthday to Julian Edelman, we'll never forget this insane catch to help win Super Bowl LI for the #Patriots.pic.twitter.com/4WJSy1t4wA
Nick Foles, Super Bowl LII
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles' touchdown catch against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII wasn't a one-handed grab, or a miraculous toe-tap to stay in bounds. Truth be told, he couldn't have been more open.
Still, Foles' first half TD snag deserves a spot on this list because it instantly became one of the most memorable plays in Super Bowl history. Especially given how the game turned out.
Up three on the defending champion Patriots and a chance to go up six heading into halftime, many coaches would've kicked the field goal. Doug Pederson instead opted for the "Philly Special" trick play on fourth down, and it won't soon be forgotten.
