See it: Rodney Harrison relives David Tyree’s Super Bowl XLII catch

One of the greatest plays in NFL history came in Super Bowl XLII when New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree trapped an Eli Manning pass against his helmet in the fourth quarter to keep the game-winning drive alive.

The Giants beat the New England Patriots that night in Arizona, 17-14, winning the Super Bowl and ending the Patriots’ quest to become the first team to finish a season 19-0.

The Giants played as well as they could have hoped in that game, keeping the explosive Patriots’ offense and quarterback Tom Brady at bay while making key play after key play.
