Not sure if there is video available for it, but Eric Martin made one of the greatest catches of all time in that game running a deep crossing route where either his cleat had come off earlier in the route or just and he stretched out for the ball...but he was laid out horizontally without a shoe as he made the catch.
This. I've said for years (decades now) that this was the best catch I've ever seen made by anyone. Completely horizontal, 12" off the ground, caught the ball with one hand outstretched.
Jarvis' one-hander last year ranks second, but distantly.
FYI, a fun fact. I remember it being reported that Dalton had 32" thighs. I found it amazing at the time that his thighs were as big as my waist.
That was a LONG time ago!

It's kind of a cheap, abbreviated version of the play, but I think this is what you might be looking for:
