On September 10, 2007, as the NFL regular season was kicking off, David Tyree wrote his teammates on the New York Giants a letter. In it, he urged players to work harder, turn to God for guidance, and "come together to believe the Lord for the quick recovery of this football team, to remove this dark cloud, and to win a championship." Just a few months later, they shocked the undefeated Patriots and much of the football world by doing just that—winning a championship—thanks in large part to Tyree's catch that will go down in history as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in Super Bowl history.
