Brandon Aiyuk was in disbelief that Lamar Jackson’s catch got SportsCenter’s top play over his deflected grab

Brandon Aiyuk Lamar Jackson NFL Niners

One of the major turning points in the 49ers’ come-from-behind win against the Lions was the third-quarter grab by Brandon Aiyuk to set up a Niners touchdown. Aiyuk had to fight through contact and adjust to a pass that took a wild deflection, coming down with the ball just shy of the goal line.

It was arguably *the* catch of the NFL playoffs, and Aiyuk expected to see it take the No. 1 spot on SportsCenter‘s top plays.

Aiyuk, though, was in for some disappointment.

The Niners receiver filmed his live reaction to the top plays, and he was in utter disbelief to see his catch come in at No. 2. When he waited to see what play beat his, it was safe to say that he didn’t agree with Lamar Jackson’s self-catch taking the top spot.

But look at the bright side, Brandon. You’re going to the Super Bowl — Lamar isn’t. It’s OK to let him have the top play this time around.

NFL fans also enjoyed Aiyuk’s reaction. He wanted that top play so badly.

This was how Twitter reacted
