It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII was voted the greatest catch of all-time by NFL Network. Considering the difficulty of the catch, and the magnitude of the game, it was a shoo-in for number one.
It’s also the most memorable play in one of the biggest upsets in sports history, as the New York Giants defeated the 18-0 New England Patriots, 17-14.
This play is also remembered for Eli Manning somehow being able to escape from being sacked by two Patriots defenders and finding Tyree down the field.
