What a coincidence! These two teams are playing Sunday in
the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XLII was probably one of the most entertaining,
if not the most, entertaining Super Bowl I’ve ever watch. The Patriots were
perfect. Pundits still wondered if Eli Manning could be an Elite quarterback
like Peyton. It was truly a David versus Goliath match-up.
Before the catch, the game was 14-10, New England with 2:42
seconds left in the fourth quarter after the Brady-Moses connection for a
touchdown. The Giants moved the ball down the field and even converted a 4th
and 1 to keep the drive alive. Then on 3rd and 5 with a 1:15 left to
play, Manning danced around in the backfield for his life, missing hits from
Thomas, Green, and Seymour to keep the play alive. Finally he heaves up the
ball to Tyree who was closely covered by Rodney Harrison. Tyree out jumped
Harrison to catch the ball and pinned it against his helmet, maintaining
possession and gaining 32 yards. That play would lead to the fantastic catch by
Plaxico Burress for the game winning touchdown.
This was an athletic play during a pressure moment on the
biggest stage in sports (for Americans at least), that lead to an upset for the
ages. I just hope these two teams can
live up to Super Bowl XLII this weekend.
If you like to relive the moment NFL Films does a fantastic job.
