Darius Slayton made one of the best catches of the NFL season in the first half on Sunday for the New York Giants against the Chicago Bears.
Working along the right sideline, he created separation as he looked back to Jaxson Dart, stuck his left hand out, deflected the ball with that hand, then found a way to wrap the ball back in with that same arm.
His day didn't continue like that.
Later in the first half, Slayton exited with an injury.

Darius Slayton injury update
Slayton went to the locker room late in the second quarter.
The Giants announced the wide receiver as questionable to return.
He already had three catches for 85 yards, including that highlight reel grab.
Slayton had just gotten back recently for the Giants, so this is a tough bit of news.
WR Wan'Dale Robinson and TE Theo Johnson will have to lead this pass-catching group while Slayton is out, although with snow falling in Chicago, it might be a big day for running.
The other big name to know is Ray-Ray McCloud, recently added from the Falcons after Atlanta released him. He could see more targets in this setup, too.
