An epic tackle that could go down in history as the 'tackle of the century' has sent shockwaves through the NRL world, with Cowboys half Tom Dearden pulling off a miraculous play that has left fans in disbelief.

In a Queensland Derby clash against the Brisbane Broncos, Dearden, the North Queensland Cowboys co-captain, executed one of the greatest tackles ever seen in rugby league to prevent a surefire try.

Despite Dearden's heroics, the Broncos ultimately outclassed the Cowboys, running away with a 38-12 victory at Suncorp Stadium.

Even in defeat, the 23-year-old Cowboys captain Dearden managed to steal the spotlight with his extraordinary display on the field.

With only one Origin match under his belt, Dearden showcased why he was chosen to lead the team this season, as he chased down Broncos speedster Selwyn Cobbo from across the field.

Securing an intercept just 5 meters from the Broncos' try line, Cobbo seemed destined to score as he sprinted away with lightning speed.

However, Dearden's determination and skill saw him make a jaw-dropping tackle to deny Cobbo a certain try, leaving fans and commentators in awe.

In a game filled with impressive performances, Dearden's spectacular tackle stood out as a shining example of sheer grit and determination in the face of adversity.

Despite the result, Dearden's moment of brilliance will be etched in rugby league history as a testament to the unwavering spirit of the game.
