Though there's hardly a conceivable way to top a one-handed touchdown catch, Odell Beckham Jr. found one.

The New York Giants wide receiver — known for his elaborate touchdown celebrations (see this LeBron James impression) — busted out the moves to Michael Jackson's "Beat It" after an amazing catch in the fourth quarter of New York's win over Detroit on Sunday.

Here's that miraculous grab, followed by Beckham's slick moves.

But it gets better.

One Vine user (RIP Vine) mashed up Jackson's hit with Beckham's touchdown celebration.

Beckham — who used Jackson's "Thriller" dance moves in a touchdown celebration last month — has already been fined more than $100,000 this season for a combination of touchdown celebrations, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, verbally abusing a referee and one illegal hit.

Though he wasn't fined for the "Beat It" moves, Beckham called out the NFL for its seemingly arbitrary touchdown celebration rules. Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott jumped into a Salvation Army pot after scoring a touchdown on Sunday, which earned him a flag but no fine.

Beckham thinks the league would have fined him for the same celebration, he hinted on Twitter.

But hey, it doesn't matter who's wrong or right. Just beat it enjoy Beckham's celebration.
