My reasoning: The Helmet Catch, is awesome, but also overrated. It’s 3rd and 5, Roughly midfield. If Tyree can’t make the catch, it’s 4 and 5. If Steve doesn’t make the play on the 3&11, best case it’s 4th and 3, while worst case it’s 4&11, going up against one of the greatest situational defenses in NFL history in the 2007 Pats, who have been operating very successfully all year on the bend-don’t-break idea of stopping teams cold in the red zone. No helmet catch, and the Giants still have half the field spreading out the NE defense, and they need 5 yards, but if Smith doesn’t make that play, that same NE defense only has to defend roughly 20 yards of field, knowing that the Giants will be going for the sidelines or the Endzone. Smith’s play prevented all that, but hardly gets a mention.
I believe that Thierry Henry once said that, whenever he rewatches the 2006 World Cup final, he still thinks that France can win. I felt the same way you did, but I was watching this for the first time. So I can appreciate Henry’s sentiment too.
The crowd in this game has the most "Buzz" of any NFL crowd I've EVER heard. Argue if you will about "best" Superbowls, this was the most "important" Superbowl EVER played...
I will never forgive Joe Buck for how he called the helmet catch. One of the greatest plays in SB history and he makes it sound like a 1-yard run on 1st and 10 in the 2nd quarter.
Marv Albert's call on Westwood One was way better. I mute the Fox broadcast to hear Marv's call of the David Tyree catch. At least Joe Buck kinda atone for it with Eli to Plaxico Burress.

Not to mention that in at least one of those meetings, the pats were undefeated and their team was stacked. So effectively you have Brady playing his best, while being helped out by a very strong team. Kinda interesting
How Eli escapes the sack and throws a good long ball and how Tyree holds on to it after Harrison does everything he can to get it out of Tyree are two things I still cannot fathom.. to this day. What a season.. what an incredible game !
That's because they changed that rules that season. Horse caller rule came into effect, forcing Willie McGinest to make a smart play and let go... Giants don't win this Superbowl without that rule change IMO.
I think Plax said in an interview years later that Rodney Harrison was at the time 1 INT away from being the all-time playoff leader, so he made a play for the INT instead of trying to bat it away or go at Tyree more directly (I understand it ws a jump ball). If thats the case, im shocked that aint talked about more often!
I’ll always remember Feagles not just for making Manning pay him to get his number 10 as a rookie and for being a monster corner punter while old as balls, but for him always having a massive fucking head every year in Madden in the 2000s
One of the most amazing things to me is that Michael Strahan planned to retire after the 2006 season, already a 14 year veteran in the franchise, but decided to come back for ONE more year. Who'd have thought his final year would give him his first and only Superbowl win against the undefeated evil empire. Strahan truly went out a champion. What an incredible way to conclude his NFL playing career. Strahan, Manning, Burress, Tyree, and everyone else who players were all Dragon Slayers this game.
I came back here to get motivated for the Giants Vikings playoff game 2023 wildcard weekend. That play with Eli escaping a sack and throwing the helmet catch still gives me chills. Lets Go !!!
Peyton and Eli are the best brothers to ever do it. I can only imagine the amount of pride you can have for a younger brother who also makes it into the league and becomes a legend as well.
I haven’t rewatched this in years, and I’m just realizing how close Brady was to pulling off the unthinkable on that last drive. A couple of those passes were closer to catches than I remember
So many underrated moments that are overlooked but so crucial on that final drive: Toomer's clutch catches in the dirt. Jacobs somehow picking up that 4th and 1 when the entire team and region of New England knew he was running the ball. Eli somehow holding on to the ball after the attempted strip/tackle by Thomas @3:51 Smith's tightrope walk on 3rd and 11 to get the 1st. Jacobs sliding over to pick up an untouched Harrison off the edge so Eli can get the clean fade pass off to Burress. The Helmet Catch is obviously an all-timer and remembered as such, but the plays above laid the foundation of the G-Men winning that game.
The best Superbowl I've ever seen considering such an unexpected upset and incredible how the Giants made it there in the first place. This could be a movie and no one would believe it
I laugh when people call this game boring. They say how there was barely any scoring. I dont know how people weren't on the edge of their seat every time the Patriots had the ball because of the potential for them to blow the game open at any time. Or when the Giants had the ball it was like is Eli going to start throwing picks, and he never did. The potential of what could happen on the next play made this game so interesting.
@@silverguard8105 so True! I don't understand how in any sport, that some people consider the most exciting games to be the ones with the most points scored! It's utterly ridiculous. Like you said, the powerhouse scoring machine of the Patriots could've any minute of the game made the ceiling crash in on the Giants. The Giants resilience wouldn't allow it to happen. You could cut the tension with a knife. Anyone who didn't feel or understand that don't understand what real competition is about.
@@silverguard8105 nothing is more disheartening than seeing your hometown QB throw 7 touchdowns, yet still lose the game, which is what happened to Eli in 2015 against the Saints. Saints 52, Giants 49. Obviously a defensive battle for the ages. LOL
I'm a rare fan I'm both a Giants and Jet Fan The Jets only won one Superbowl.. But it was the most important one.. It was the reason the NFL and the AFL merged....and gave us the NFL we enjoy today....I see the XFL and USFL doing the same if they want to guarantee a successful professional spring football league
I remeber watching this in the kitchen with my step dad. The memory burned in my mind from this super bowl. Lots of excitment, lots of WTFs, and an ending to one of the best Superbowls I've ever seen. My step dads gone now, and may he rest in peace. The memories that flood back to me from the last 2 odd sum minutes of this game where amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
Lost my step-dad when I was 16 to suicide. He was... godlike to me. 42 years old now, and I love him just like I did when I was a kid. Lots of sports memories with him as well. I feel yah bro
Same deal, but by the third quarter my dad just went into a dark room and waited for it to end. Once we realized it was possible I think the nerves were just too much. That was such a special day for our family and so many others. Go Giants
I remember watching this game as a Giants fan with my dad as a kid and him telling me "Son, that was the best game you'll ever watch. It's all downhill from here." He was right.
He couldn't have been more wrong they went on to win another Superbowl and they had multiple winning seasons after that. It was all down hill starting in the 16' season.
I watched this with my dad as well. I was in my mid 20s and we said the same thing. That's all we could talk about was how this was the best game we'd ever seen. And my dad watched way more football than me with all the games he saw before I was born. I always watched the SB with my dad, I never went to parties.
This always takes me back to when I first watched this game live. Each play after Brady hit Moss, my heart was THUMPING. Oh, what a time to be a Giants fan.
At least Joe Buck kinda made up for it with Eli to Plaxico Burress for the touchdown. Marv Albert's call on the David Tyree catch on Westwood One was way better.
Brady wouldnt give up his first 2001 the 28 3 comeback and now I feel this years with TB cause it was done without Belicheck. But he definitely would take Ls in the others to have this undefeated season no doubt
Giant fan since 1963 NFL title game. Never get tired of this footage. Eli was at his best in the biggest moments. Look foward to Elis induction to HOF.
@@reyh89 Hurt feelings? Because I don't think a sub .500 Quarterback should be in the HOF? And I've been a Giant fan for longer than you. There were no Patriots here in New England when I was a kid and the Giants were our home team. Posters on my wall included Charlie Connerly, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, etc. The AFL came along and I had a team in Boston but while rooting for them still stayed loyal to my New York (football) Giants. Twice I've had Super Bowls where I couldn't lose. Although I did lean towards having that undefeated season if I'm being honest. You called Brady the GOAT, and you're correct. I called Eli a sub .500 quarterback and I'm correct. No one's feelings should be hurt. Now let's go beat the Vikings this weekend you old goat with a small g-o-a-t.
I was watching the game in a New England bar that night. I thought I was probably the only Giants fan there, but then I noticed a young couple who were silent whenever the Patriots did something positive--while everyone else was whooping it up. So I went over to them, told them I was rooting for the Giants, and asked if I could sit with them. They smiled and said sure, and told me that they were indeed Giants fans. I'll always remember the looks on the Patriots' fans faces after Brady's final Hail Mary failed: people were just staring at the screens, mouths agape and eyes like saucers. Meanwhile, I and my new friends quietly celebrated amongst ourselves.
As an Eagles fan, it brought tears of joy to watch my NFC East brothers dismantle the Pats perfect season. Thank you Eli, Plaxico, Michael Strahan, and all the warriors that night.
Ah yes, I remember the days when people hated Brady and said he only won because of his great coach and bad division. Now he's everyone's favorite and his garbage division doesn't matter cuz it was Belichick that sucked all along. Never thought I'd long for the days defending Brady lol this SB hurt like a MF
My grandfather passed away and went to be with Jesus a couple years after this. He was a die hard giants fan. I remember as a sophomore in high school watching this Super Bowl at his house. I actually cried watching it tonight remembering him. Praise God for this wonderful game and memory I had with my grandfather
Pats fan here, Huge respect to the Giants for beating us twice in the SB with Belichick & Brady. That's tough shit. Great organization. Congratulations on the amazing SB victories!
Yes us because he is a fan that supports the patriots. God i hate people like you. We loterally put the food on their tables by supporting them. @@theGiver3
I never realized how lucky Eli was on that last drive. He almost gave the ball away like 5 times. Truly a one in a million chance things turned out the way they did. If I were one of those NE defenders I’d be sick to my stomach every day for the rest of my life.
83 yard game winning drive and it was all passing outside Brandon Jacobs' 2 yard run. People also forget the Patriots defense was one of the best in the league that year. Better than the Giants defense for starters.
@@JDFrank20Diaz Pats ended it when they went 18-0. Yes they lost the last game to go 18-1, but they stopped celebrating it, even Don Shula acknowledged it..Amazing season by Patriots still 1 of the Patriot fans favorite season...🤯🤯🤯
@@shinnychariot8858 Alabama cause they have all the best talent It's always Alabama Clemson Georgia Always getting the best recruiting and it's boring how many times have we seen Alabama Vs Clemson since the Playoff was a thing it gets repetitive Again Nick Saban Great Coach and Offocurse all the Best High School Prospects want to Learn under His Leadership and discipline to make it into the NFL alot easier
I will never forget these moments as long as I live, watching it brings such nostalgia. Watched them for 20 years before getting to experience a super bowl as I was too young to remember their victories in the late 80’s/early 90s. Just Epic!!!🎉🎉🎉
Giants defense did a hell of a job keeping the Pat's in check. Manning got it done when it counted clutch in 4th quarter. Randy Moss the most dangerous player on the field. The last drive the man flew threw the defense and had to slow down a step and wait for the ball. If Brady gets it out a yard further Moss never breaks stride, makes the catch and he's still running. He'll of a game.
@@bigsassyster I disagree. Eli mannings post season play on both super bowl runs was spectacular! In 07 and 11 he out deuled Bret farve Aaron Rodgers Matt Ryan Tony Romo Garcia plus Brady twice. That's not an accident. That man passed all the qb tests of skill and toughness 2x. He didn't have the huge numbers that his brother had, but he's got the same number of super bowl rings.
@@michaelstone7514 His defense won him those championships. Even in your statements that they went through all those great QBs just shows in was the Giants defense that won. They averaged only 16 points given up in 2007 playoffs, and 14 points given up in 2011. They never allowed more than 20 points in a game. That is all defense. In the Super Bowls, his offense only put up 20 and 21 points.
I think Brady & Pats panicked! They was playin like they had no chance to tie the game with a fg. Plus they had 1 timeout. I kno everything went to hell after Giants got all of those crazy plays.
Remember that the last week of the regular season, 2007, in December when New England was going for the perfect record, the game was against these same NY Giants and was televised by BOTH NBC and CBS...still gives me chills to this day when I think how Brady hit Moss with that 60 yard TD bomb after blowing it the play before. Incredible season.
I was at that game and just remember thinking, damn, we can beat this team. Best team in NFL history but big blue had their number. After week 17 we were the last team they wanted to see in the super bowl. Road warriors baby!!!
@@melev23 In the regular season contest, the Giants scored more points than anyone had on the Patriots all year. In the Super Bowl, the Giants held the Patriots to fewer points than anyone had all year. I said after the Giants beat the Cowboys, it was the outcome that had to have the Patriots the most worried of any possibility in that division round. And good on both teams for going all out to win a regular season game the pundits said was meaningless, because they were locked in to the 5th and 1st seeds in their respective conferences, regardless of the outcome.
Came back to this after Brady announcing his retirement. Eli looked More like he was having an out of body experience on that last drive. Not sure I’m convinced he was in control. Lol
@@jhaz89 exactly, he played better in other super bowl against the pats. And his pass to Mario Manningham was way better then the one to Tyree. Tyree catch is what made that play.
If this was a movie you would roll your eyes, Eli was something special this day, sheds those tackles heaved a prayer and tyree came down with a miracle
This game showcased everything that the Giants were that year. Smothering defense all over Brady, 4th and 1 conversion with Jacobs, Eli being clutch in the 4th quarter on the road.
I'm a Dolphins fan that has suffered since Dan retired but has some solace in having the only perfect season. I also live in Boston. Watching the '07 Patriots, i was resigned to the fact they were going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. Patriots fans were insufferable. The talk wasn't just that they would win it all, but that they would be the better undefeated team and how Miami was trash. I stopped listening to sports radio from November on. This Super Bowl is probably one of the top greatest sporting events of my life. It was truly incredible.
The 84" 49ers were essentially undefeated. the referee made an awful call during week 7 that turned the game. The 85' bears had a rush that only Dan Marino could ruin. Marino did; and exposed the 46
Boston fans have long been said to be terrible, and that's not just anyone talking, that's athlete's that play in front of fans across the country. Watching that game end as it did was so sweet.
Two consecutive plays. Asante Samuel drops the potential game-clinching INT. The very next play, David Tyree's helmet makes a catch. Those two plays crushed NE.
If Samuel had been a Giants receiver making the same leap on the same ball, everyone would be criticizing Manning for not giving him a chance to catch it. The ball was too high and out and if he got his hands on it, no way he comes down in-bounds with the momentum and angle of his jump. Samuel did well to even touch that ball. It was an amazing feat of athleticism on his part and a good job on Manning's to put the ball where it could not be intercepted. I hate people trying to reduce two good players' efforts on this play to failures, Samuel's failure to catch a ball he never had a chance, and Manning's alleged luck that the defense failed to make an impossible play.
This is probably the single greatest come from behind win in SB history. Period. The Giants win this game with some wild magic as a 9-7 wild card vs an undefeated Juggernaut. This is my favorite game of all the time and in my opinion the best football game ever played. Absolutely incredible.
Makes me cry watching this. Die hard Giants fan, what an amazing drive. My Giants have had many great SuperBowl moments. This here is a sweet one. Such a great team! Tyree held in to that ball so tight, it never did touch the ground. 3 of the top 5 Super Bowls ever played belong to the Giants.
After watching this a 10th+ time, as a Raider fan I might add to the discussion, Eli made the single greatest throw in NFL history and a no name David Tyree came up with the grab. It was nothing short of incredible, and that play is why the NFL is the greatest sport on earth. There are always no-name contributors on the winning team. The common team, the common man, can make a world of difference.
The result was good, but he literally heaved up a prayer into quadruple coverage, lol. Any QB not named Mahomes would get chewed out for even attempting that throw.
Especially the moments leading up to this. Giants being a wild card team to barely make playoffs. Pat's having a perfect season. A true David vs Goliath moment
This drive has to be the greatest, if not one of the greatest final drives of all time in Superbowl history! I remember being on my feet the whole time on edge for every single play at my Father's house with the rest of the family. Then when he delivered that TD strike to Plax I completely lost it! That was the best game I ever watched and knew at that point that Eli was the guy. Congratulations on #10 being retired this Sunday! Well deserved and an absolute legend and one heck of a guy.
I don't know for sure but I'd bet money Eli boned Gisele a couple times too. She never seemed like a stand-by-your-man type. "This one... this Eli... he won over Tom again?... he is better than Tom? Hmmmmm..."
Pat Mahomes has shown since day one that he's the most talented of any of the QBs I've been fortunate to watch over 64 years. Just an indescribable talent. I think the Pats made their fame with coaching. Start with Adam Venitieri's FOOT..and then a really major defense for many years. and playing in a lousy Divisiondidn't hurt. But I claim the PATS did it the right way...: TEAM. it's a team sport and the PATs had the best in the history of NFL...never to be seen again.
I'll never get tired of watching this video. Before Superbowl 42, Plaxico Burress predicted a NY Giants 23 - 17 win over The Mighty 17 - 0 Patriots. When Tom Brady heard Burress' prediction, Brady laughed "HAH. We're ONLY going to score 17 points on 'em". And especially when the Patriots scored to take the lead 14 - 10 with 2:42 left on the clock. Joe Buck describing "a methodical drive put together by the game's BEST... Tom Brady (sigh)". But when David Tyree caught that desperation pass with 1:00 left in regulation. Troy Aikman; shocked, had no choice but to announce "OH MY GOD!!! This ball's thrown and Tyree just goes up for it like a basketball player. And Harrison trying to knock knock it down!". And the piece de resistance. "Manning, lobs it. BURRESS... ALONE!!! Touchdown, New York!!!" - Joe Buck.
I never had an issue with the Pat's winning until this year. As a Washington Football Team Fan it REALLY BURNED ME UP that the whole league wore 91 and 21 for Sean Taylor that year, except for the Pats who only wore the 91 patch. I took my hatred for division rival Giants, n shifted it all to NEW ENGLAND THAT YEAR!! To this day I still dont know why they didnt put the 21 patch on they helmets.
I’m a WFT/Redskins fan too... that didn’t bother me so much but my brother and dad are huge Giants fans and we loved every second of this one:.. still to this day the best SB ever
didn't even realize that; as a Giants fan Sean Taylor was and is my favorite player of all time just one more reason to love this game and the Giants shitting on the arrogant Patriots
Dude, there are literally images showing and articles discussing how guys like Brady and Wilfork wore both decals (Wilfork especially, as he played with Taylor when they both played for the Miami Hurricanes). Additionally, the 91 decal was a tribute to a PATRIOTS defensive end who died saving his girlfriend after getting into a jet ski accident. Now with that being said, I'm sure they could've easily just slapped on the 21 for this game along with the 91, but they didn't for whatever reason, just keep note that they were honoring their own fallen teammate with that 91 and that they, in fact, DID wear both numbers at times. I also don't see any Giants players with a 91 on their helmets in this video.
@@michaelmaryhugh4615 The point being made was that they got to the Super Bowl as a 10-6 wild card team up from 8-8 in the season before. The wild card Giants beat the Patriots who had an undefeated regular season. From a Patriot Fan On Any Given Sunday
Watching this again after so many years I realized the Pats D was throwing everything at Eli, constant pressure in his face play after play, they earned every yard that last drive. The TD to Plax was so surreal as I remember Eli floating one to the corner, my stomach in my throat and as the camera pans over I see Plax wide open and was just watching the ball float into his arms. Sat there dazed, so awesome.
There have been some amazing, iconic Super Bowl winning drives in history…but so much happened on this drive that it’s hard to deny it’s the most amazing, iconic drive in Super Bowl history
For historical purposes, the 2007 New England Patriots had one of the biggest chokes in sports given the feats they had on the line including a perfect 19-0 season. The game itself was a toss up because both defenses were solid. The 2016 Atlanta Falcons had a worse choke than the 2007 Pats for a single game along with the 1992 Houston Oilers against the Buffalo Bills.
I'm a Patriots fan and I was legit worried about this game going into it. We looked absolutely terrible against San Diego in the conference championship and there were reports that we were sloppy during practice leading up to the game as well. The pressure of going 19-0 was getting to us and it showed. People forget the Giants made quite a few mistakes that we uncharacteristically did not capitalize on.
@@random-nz7dy Chargers were by far the best team the year Peyton got the SB with the Colts. They made so many mistakes against the Patriots in that playoff game and still would have won if the DB would have only fell down after getting what should have been the game winning interception.
The chargers in 2007 were a great team too. They took down the colts in the playoffs and wasn't Rivers basically playing on a bad acl vs the pats? They really are an unlucky team though still are
till the day I die, Eli will always be my hero...nailed these dudes TWICE shafting their perfect season in one of those SB. Eli was under fire on that final drive constantly...and his receivers didnt get perfect separation like Brady's guys did. The Giants were gassed that final drive of Brady's...the separation Moss and othrs got was embarrassing. But oh no, Aikmon's man love for Brady was sickening. Eli, you kicked Brady's ass and you're my hero.
Oh Please ,Eli is the luckiest mf ever. Pats lost this on their own. They literally dropped 3 ints in the final 2 min! Eli escapes a 3 man sack and throws a no look HAIL MARY! LUCKIEST DUDE EVER!!!!
I’ll never forget this. My favorite game of all time. I hated the Patriots. Seeing Payton cheer for his brother was so great. My brother passed away that year. I was so happy our Giants won!
nobody talks enough about Jay Alford’s sack, HOLY SHIT it was so clutch. To push them back 10 yards in that high pressure situation. If it weren’t for that sack, the pass to Randy Moss on the next play could’ve probably been complete.
I watch it over and over and every time I slightly forget that this was fourteen years ago and the Pats aren’t going to pull it out I hate it but this is objectively probably the best super bowl ever
@@gaudimatos5563 - Well...I think most put Jets over Colts #1...and Patriots over Rams #2...after that it's probably open for debate I guess. But this one is definitely up there.
Dude watching this just brought back so many memories !! What a time! I remember being at a huge Super Bowl Party in Nj and we were just going crazy I was just a kid. Highlight of my fan life!! Have lost touch with football since 2015 but this will forever be the best!
It never gets old. One of the greatest moments of my life. From the moment they intercepted Tony Romo in the end zone to beat the Cowboys, I knew the Giants would win the Super Bowl. Even when Moss caught that touchdown at 2:45 left, I said "We've got 'em right where we want 'em." 2 minutes to a touchdown and run out the clock. I could be on my death bed, penniless, and all someone would have to do is whisper in my ear "the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl", and I would die with a smile on my face.
I was 18 at the time. It was a rainy, dreary day in southern CA, where I was watching this game with some friends in a house whose owners I hardly knew. The game went on through the late afternoon. We ate some pasta that nobody really took the time to prepare. The guy caught the football on his head, and Plaxico redeemed himself with a game winning TD catch. I'll never forget it.
I'm so happy to watch the final 2 minutes of this OUTSTANDING Super Bowl!!! Eli Manning will forever have a place in my heart for TWICE beating the stinking Patriots. (Bills fan here)
Another nanosecond and the back judge was gonna whistle and call "in the grasp", he was already starting to signal it, then Eli broke free, for the greatest superbowl catch ever....Wheww...that was close 😬
I’ve always said I think SB 42 as a whole was a bit underwhelming. However the last 3 drives are one of the most legendary sequences in NFL history. But man Patriots blew this, mulitiple missed ints, didn’t take the FG, not getting the fumble early on.
Crazy to realize Brady was already 30 here with 8 years of experience. Even a 23 year old rookie would be 38 years old now. Brady has withstood Father Time unlike any athlete in history.
I liked his comments after beating the Patriots the second time. He was asked what the game meant, in beating the Patriots for the second time, he paused, thought for a second, then said: "we decapitated them."
I live in Indiana, so my family is all die hard Colts fans. Especially my brother, he idolized Peyton growing up. So therefor when Eli got drafted, the Giants became my favorite team. I didn’t really have one before then, as in ‘04 I was only 6 or 7. Also, I got a Tiki Barber poster at a book fair, and the Giants matched the colors of our high school team. So it all made sense for them to be my favorite 😂 but they have been ever since and I never once said otherwise. A few years ago I went to my first and only giants game, in Indy. We stayed at the same hotel all the players did. I saw and met a lot of them. My brother and I were the only ones not bothering them, and the only ones not pressing them for autographs. We appeared to be the only true fans, as everyone else was looking for something to get signed and sell. So some of the players chit chatted with us like Evan Engram, Wil Hernandez, Aldric Rosas (I know none of them are with the Giants now), and a few other O-line players. I did ask Janoris Jenkins for a picture and he said no. I tried talking to Sterling Shepherd, I was walking up to him and he must have seen me chatting with the other players, because he started my way and was about to dap me up, before a group of people start shoving stuff in his face. He gave me a look like “my bad man” so I said it’s all good lol. Front desk person told us the Eli and Saquon walked in together early in the morning and haven’t been through since. I then sat in a chair at the lobby and a few men in suits came and asked if they could sit there and I said yeah idc. Then a few more, and a few more. They then asked me if I could move, I said no. They kept talking. I was sitting right in the middle of them, they asked me to move again, I said no. Come to find out, it was the head coach at the time, the other position coaches, the GM, and owner. 😂 But then I saw the man. David Tyree. He walked by, and that’s when the real fans came out. People swarmed him, it was like seeing God almost. Obviously he wasn’t on the team at this time and hadn’t played in years, but he must’ve been traveling with them for whatever reason, I’m not sure. This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I must add: so I’m a bigger guy, like 6’3”, and at the time I was like 250 pounds. I used to lift weights a lot but hadn’t in a while but I guess I somehow looked as if I was a player. I did have on an official Giants hoodie, and was dressed like most of them, and the fact that I was just hanging out with them, people got the idea that I was a player of some sort. I got asked for an autograph. So I said sure. They asked what position I played and I said “left out”. They took this as left outside linebacker? So I just yeah and went with it 😂
It's a scene that will forever be remembered for that catch, but as I was watching the live broadcast at the time, the scene where Tom Brady was sacked in the final sequence was the best. I was so nervous that he had time to deliver his final attack.

hurr durrrrr did you get points for stealing video?
Am I the only person who thinks the 3rd & 11 Steve Smith play is the most unsung, underrated, critical play of the Giants game winning drive?
I think the same
My reasoning:
The Helmet Catch, is awesome, but also overrated. It’s 3rd and 5, Roughly midfield. If Tyree can’t make the catch, it’s 4 and 5.
If Steve doesn’t make the play on the 3&11, best case it’s 4th and 3, while worst case it’s 4&11, going up against one of the greatest situational defenses in NFL history in the 2007 Pats, who have been operating very successfully all year on the bend-don’t-break idea of stopping teams cold in the red zone. No helmet catch, and the Giants still have half the field spreading out the NE defense, and they need 5 yards, but if Smith doesn’t make that play, that same NE defense only has to defend roughly 20 yards of field, knowing that the Giants will be going for the sidelines or the Endzone. Smith’s play prevented all that, but hardly gets a mention.
Assante Samuel dropping the easy INT that would have ended the game was the biggest play of that drive.
Jacobs on 4th n 1
Was that a pick with toomer
It's so insane to me that I can watch this 15 years later and still get nearly as nervous as I did when I was seeing it live on TV.
Same here.
I believe that Thierry Henry once said that, whenever he rewatches the 2006 World Cup final, he still thinks that France can win. I felt the same way you did, but I was watching this for the first time. So I can appreciate Henry’s sentiment too.
Goose bumps.
One of the greatest days of every Giants fans life. So thankful i saw this with my mother, father and brothers. Go Big Blue!!
The crowd in this game has the most "Buzz" of any NFL crowd I've EVER heard. Argue if you will about "best" Superbowls, this was the most "important" Superbowl EVER played...
I will never forgive Joe Buck for how he called the helmet catch. One of the greatest plays in SB history and he makes it sound like a 1-yard run on 1st and 10 in the 2nd quarter.
I swear to god...
He said he wasn't sure at the time if tyree really made the catch or not
Marv Albert's call on Westwood One was way better. I mute the Fox broadcast to hear Marv's call of the David Tyree catch.
At least Joe Buck kinda atone for it with Eli to Plaxico Burress.

Eli Manning went up against the GOAT twice in the super bowl and won both times he is the only QB to have done this
Nick foles?
@@carsonteague9645 not twice
Not to mention that in at least one of those meetings, the pats were undefeated and their team was stacked. So effectively you have Brady playing his best, while being helped out by a very strong team. Kinda interesting
Brady isn't the goat he just won the most its a team game on skills alone rodgers is the goat
@@tedski718 rodgers 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
How Eli escapes the sack and throws a good long ball and how Tyree holds on to it after Harrison does everything he can to get it out of Tyree are two things I still cannot fathom.. to this day.
What a season.. what an incredible game !
That's because they changed that rules that season. Horse caller rule came into effect, forcing Willie McGinest to make a smart play and let go... Giants don't win this Superbowl without that rule change IMO.
@@BishopRealTalk98CAP
Good long ball. Lol.
my favorite throw ever!!!
I think Plax said in an interview years later that Rodney Harrison was at the time 1 INT away from being the all-time playoff leader, so he made a play for the INT instead of trying to bat it away or go at Tyree more directly (I understand it ws a jump ball). If thats the case, im shocked that aint talked about more often!
The Giants punter was the unsung hero of the game.. His booming punts constantly pinned the Pats back.
Jeff feagles? He was an outstanding punter
I’ll always remember Feagles not just for making Manning pay him to get his number 10 as a rookie and for being a monster corner punter while old as balls, but for him always having a massive fucking head every year in Madden in the 2000s
@Michael Massimo balls of steel
@@greggraff7519 😆 big astronaut head lmfaoooooooo

One of the most amazing things to me is that Michael Strahan planned to retire after the 2006 season, already a 14 year veteran in the franchise, but decided to come back for ONE more year. Who'd have thought his final year would give him his first and only Superbowl win against the undefeated evil empire.
Strahan truly went out a champion. What an incredible way to conclude his NFL playing career. Strahan, Manning, Burress, Tyree, and everyone else who players were all Dragon Slayers this game.
Don't forget the refs and archie manning

I haven’t rewatched this in years, and I’m just realizing how close Brady was to pulling off the unthinkable on that last drive. A couple of those passes were closer to catches than I remember
That Moss pass was SO close,
@@alexharvey6522 if Brady could’ve got just a little bit more air under it……
@@emjay11bravo I was also shocked at how much more mobile Brady was back then. He almost looked like Mahomes running around on that play
I’m not a Giants fan but in my nightmares he catches it or it’s pass interference
They were also very desperate and easily telegraphed; "hey, guess who Tom Brady is gonna try and throw to in a last ditch attempt to win deep?"
So many underrated moments that are overlooked but so crucial on that final drive:
Toomer's clutch catches in the dirt.
Jacobs somehow picking up that 4th and 1 when the entire team and region of New England knew he was running the ball.
Eli somehow holding on to the ball after the attempted strip/tackle by Thomas @3:51
Smith's tightrope walk on 3rd and 11 to get the 1st.
Jacobs sliding over to pick up an untouched Harrison off the edge so Eli can get the clean fade pass off to Burress.
The Helmet Catch is obviously an all-timer and remembered as such, but the plays above laid the foundation of the G-Men winning that game.
The best Superbowl I've ever seen considering such an unexpected upset and incredible how the Giants made it there in the first place. This could be a movie and no one would believe it
What's truly amazing is that the Giants were underdogs in 3 of the 4 of their Superbowl victories.
I laugh when people call this game boring. They say how there was barely any scoring. I dont know how people weren't on the edge of their seat every time the Patriots had the ball because of the potential for them to blow the game open at any time. Or when the Giants had the ball it was like is Eli going to start throwing picks, and he never did. The potential of what could happen on the next play made this game so interesting.
@@silverguard8105 so True! I don't understand how in any sport, that some people consider the most exciting games to be the ones with the most points scored! It's utterly ridiculous. Like you said, the powerhouse scoring machine of the Patriots could've any minute of the game made the ceiling crash in on the Giants. The Giants resilience wouldn't allow it to happen. You could cut the tension with a knife. Anyone who didn't feel or understand that don't understand what real competition is about.
@@silverguard8105 nothing is more disheartening than seeing your hometown QB throw 7 touchdowns, yet still lose the game, which is what happened to Eli in 2015 against the Saints. Saints 52, Giants 49. Obviously a defensive battle for the ages. LOL

I remeber watching this in the kitchen with my step dad. The memory burned in my mind from this super bowl. Lots of excitment, lots of WTFs, and an ending to one of the best Superbowls I've ever seen. My step dads gone now, and may he rest in peace. The memories that flood back to me from the last 2 odd sum minutes of this game where amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

Greatest game ever to watch with my father, and our team won. Thank you Giants
Same deal, but by the third quarter my dad just went into a dark room and waited for it to end. Once we realized it was possible I think the nerves were just too much. That was such a special day for our family and so many others. Go Giants
Definitely one of the top 2 SB's in my era. That last drive by the Giants was unforgettable
I remember watching this game as a Giants fan with my dad as a kid and him telling me "Son, that was the best game you'll ever watch. It's all downhill from here."
He was right.
Jones is a better QB than Hurts
Not fully downhill though, considering you still won Super Bowl 46 against New England
He couldn't have been more wrong they went on to win another Superbowl and they had multiple winning seasons after that. It was all down hill starting in the 16' season.
I watched this with my dad as well. I was in my mid 20s and we said the same thing. That's all we could talk about was how this was the best game we'd ever seen. And my dad watched way more football than me with all the games he saw before I was born. I always watched the SB with my dad, I never went to parties.

I was watching the game in a New England bar that night. I thought I was probably the only Giants fan there, but then I noticed a young couple who were silent whenever the Patriots did something positive--while everyone else was whooping it up. So I went over to them, told them I was rooting for the Giants, and asked if I could sit with them. They smiled and said sure, and told me that they were indeed Giants fans. I'll always remember the looks on the Patriots' fans faces after Brady's final Hail Mary failed: people were just staring at the screens, mouths agape and eyes like saucers. Meanwhile, I and my new friends quietly celebrated amongst ourselves.

Wow, i still get goosebumps watching this, like the first time back in 07. Never gets old.
I will never forget these moments as long as I live, watching it brings such nostalgia. Watched them for 20 years before getting to experience a super bowl as I was too young to remember their victories in the late 80’s/early 90s. Just Epic!!!🎉🎉🎉
Giants defense did a hell of a job keeping the Pat's in check. Manning got it done when it counted clutch in 4th quarter. Randy Moss the most dangerous player on the field. The last drive the man flew threw the defense and had to slow down a step and wait for the ball. If Brady gets it out a yard further Moss never breaks stride, makes the catch and he's still running. He'll of a game.
Giants defense is why they won; not Eli. People forget about how good their defense was.
@@bigsassyster I disagree. Eli mannings post season play on both super bowl runs was spectacular! In 07 and 11 he out deuled Bret farve Aaron Rodgers Matt Ryan Tony Romo Garcia plus Brady twice. That's not an accident. That man passed all the qb tests of skill and toughness 2x. He didn't have the huge numbers that his brother had, but he's got the same number of super bowl rings.
@@michaelstone7514 His defense won him those championships.
Even in your statements that they went through all those great QBs just shows in was the Giants defense that won. They averaged only 16 points given up in 2007 playoffs, and 14 points given up in 2011. They never allowed more than 20 points in a game. That is all defense.
In the Super Bowls, his offense only put up 20 and 21 points.
I think Brady & Pats panicked! They was playin like they had no chance to tie the game with a fg. Plus they had 1 timeout. I kno everything went to hell after Giants got all of those crazy plays.
@@bigsassyster It was both.
Remember that the last week of the regular season, 2007, in December when New England was going for the perfect record, the game was against these same NY Giants and was televised by BOTH NBC and CBS...still gives me chills to this day when I think how Brady hit Moss with that 60 yard TD bomb after blowing it the play before.

@@melev23 In the regular season contest, the Giants scored more points than anyone had on the Patriots all year. In the Super Bowl, the Giants held the Patriots to fewer points than anyone had all year. I said after the Giants beat the Cowboys, it was the outcome that had to have the Patriots the most worried of any possibility in that division round.
And good on both teams for going all out to win a regular season game the pundits said was meaningless, because they were locked in to the 5th and 1st seeds in their respective conferences, regardless of the outcome.

Just watched the replay of this game on the NFL Network. It was just as exciting tonight as it was in February 2008! Great win Eli and the G-Men!
I'm a Dolphins fan that has suffered since Dan retired but has some solace in having the only perfect season. I also live in Boston. Watching the '07 Patriots, i was resigned to the fact they were going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. Patriots fans were insufferable. The talk wasn't just that they would win it all, but that they would be the better undefeated team and how Miami was trash. I stopped listening to sports radio from November on. This Super Bowl is probably one of the top greatest sporting events of my life. It was truly incredible.
The 84" 49ers were essentially undefeated. the referee made an awful call during week 7 that turned the game.
The 85' bears had a rush that only Dan Marino could ruin. Marino did; and exposed the 46
There were several teams that were better than that undefeated Miami team. Certainly this NE team was a better team and they lost the SB.
Boston fans have long been said to be terrible, and that's not just anyone talking, that's athlete's that play in front of fans across the country. Watching that game end as it did was so sweet.
@@markmontanio9550i mean they watched 12 championship parades in 20 years, so in the end this wasnt all that humbling
Your welcome Dan. It's our present from you to the dolphins from the giants.
Two consecutive plays. Asante Samuel drops the potential game-clinching INT. The very next play, David Tyree's helmet makes a catch. Those two plays crushed NE.
I agree, they were a killer. Physical error though. Bill’s mental error of benching Butler against Eagles made me more mad:
If Samuel had been a Giants receiver making the same leap on the same ball, everyone would be criticizing Manning for not giving him a chance to catch it. The ball was too high and out and if he got his hands on it, no way he comes down in-bounds with the momentum and angle of his jump. Samuel did well to even touch that ball. It was an amazing feat of athleticism on his part and a good job on Manning's to put the ball where it could not be intercepted. I hate people trying to reduce two good players' efforts on this play to failures, Samuel's failure to catch a ball he never had a chance, and Manning's alleged luck that the defense failed to make an impossible play.
There was also the 4th and 1 and the 3rd and 11. So many things went the Giants way that finals drive
This is probably the single greatest come from behind win in SB history. Period. The Giants win this game with some wild magic as a 9-7 wild card vs an undefeated Juggernaut. This is my favorite game of all the time and in my opinion the best football game ever played. Absolutely incredible.
Nah. What the Pats did to the Falcons was
They were not 9-7 in 2007
This game will live for ever! I will never forget this game. Go Giants!!!!
Makes me cry watching this. Die hard Giants fan, what an amazing drive. My Giants have had many great SuperBowl moments. This here is a sweet one. Such a great team! Tyree held in to that ball so tight, it never did touch the ground. 3 of the top 5 Super Bowls ever played belong to the Giants.
1 of the top 3 was 1975 Cowboys vs Steelers
After watching this a 10th+ time, as a Raider fan I might add to the discussion, Eli made the single greatest throw in NFL history and a no name David Tyree came up with the grab. It was nothing short of incredible, and that play is why the NFL is the greatest sport on earth.
There are always no-name contributors on the winning team. The common team, the common man, can make a world of difference.
Chandler Jones called, Raiders fan😉
Bruhhh you do realize, football is only played in America lol. So how can it be the best sport in the world????
Even the 53rd player on an NFL roster is a tremendous player and athlete. All many of them need is an opportunity.
thats the exact same for every damn sport.
The result was good, but he literally heaved up a prayer into quadruple coverage, lol. Any QB not named Mahomes would get chewed out for even attempting that throw.
Simply amazing. IDC, I’m going to always respect Eli.
Eli is and always will be my Giants QB. Two SB against the great TB! Enough said!
Tom Brady was really an Eli Manning away from having 9 rings lmao
I know the helmet catch gets all the glory and rightfully so but the 4th&1 and 3&11 plays are just as breathtaking.
Brandon Jacobs 4th and 1 could of easily been stopped. Nailbiter for sure.
I still believe this is the best SB ever played. A classic.
Even though I don’t like the Pats, I got to say SB 51. That SB was insane.
This is the best super bowl of all time with the greatest play of all SB time
Especially the moments leading up to this. Giants being a wild card team to barely make playoffs. Pat's having a perfect season. A true David vs Goliath moment
@@isaiahjones3427 Pats were favorite against the Falcons. They were supposed to win.
I agree
This drive has to be the greatest, if not one of the greatest final drives of all time in Superbowl history! I remember being on my feet the whole time on edge for every single play at my Father's house with the rest of the family. Then when he delivered that TD strike to Plax I completely lost it! That was the best game I ever watched and knew at that point that Eli was the guy. Congratulations on #10 being retired this Sunday! Well deserved and an absolute legend and one heck of a guy.
Probably the greatest final 2 minutes in NFL history
There is only one football player on the planet who can walk into a room with the GOAT Tom Brady and feel superior. That is Eli Manning
Right? Eli Manning won 2 Super Bowls, and Tom Brady lost them both.
I don't know for sure but I'd bet money Eli boned Gisele a couple times too. She never seemed like a stand-by-your-man type. "This one... this Eli... he won over Tom again?... he is better than Tom? Hmmmmm..."
Pat Mahomes has shown since day one that he's the most talented of any of the QBs I've been fortunate to watch over 64 years. Just an indescribable talent. I think the Pats made their fame with coaching. Start with Adam Venitieri's FOOT..and then a really major defense for many years. and playing in a lousy Divisiondidn't hurt. But I claim the PATS did it the right way...: TEAM. it's a team sport and the PATs had the best in the history of NFL...never to be seen again.
What is wrong with your weird ass
And nick foles.....
I'll never get tired of watching this video.
Before Superbowl 42, Plaxico Burress predicted a NY Giants 23 - 17 win over The Mighty 17 - 0 Patriots.
When Tom Brady heard Burress' prediction, Brady laughed "HAH. We're ONLY going to score 17 points on 'em".
And especially when the Patriots scored to take the lead 14 - 10 with 2:42 left on the clock. Joe Buck describing "a methodical drive put together by the game's BEST... Tom Brady (sigh)".
But when David Tyree caught that desperation pass with 1:00 left in regulation. Troy Aikman; shocked, had no choice but to announce "OH MY GOD!!! This ball's thrown and Tyree just goes up for it like a basketball player. And Harrison trying to knock knock it down!".
And the piece de resistance.
"Manning, lobs it. BURRESS... ALONE!!! Touchdown, New York!!!" - Joe Buck.
I never had an issue with the Pat's winning until this year. As a Washington Football Team Fan it REALLY BURNED ME UP that the whole league wore 91 and 21 for Sean Taylor that year, except for the Pats who only wore the 91 patch. I took my hatred for division rival Giants, n shifted it all to NEW ENGLAND THAT YEAR!! To this day I still dont know why they didnt put the 21 patch on they helmets.
I’m a WFT/Redskins fan too... that didn’t bother me so much but my brother and dad are huge Giants fans and we loved every second of this one:.. still to this day the best SB ever
didn't even realize that; as a Giants fan Sean Taylor was and is my favorite player of all time
just one more reason to love this game and the Giants shitting on the arrogant Patriots
they already had a decal on for marquise Hill so they couldnt do that
Dude, there are literally images showing and articles discussing how guys like Brady and Wilfork wore both decals (Wilfork especially, as he played with Taylor when they both played for the Miami Hurricanes). Additionally, the 91 decal was a tribute to a PATRIOTS defensive end who died saving his girlfriend after getting into a jet ski accident. Now with that being said, I'm sure they could've easily just slapped on the 21 for this game along with the 91, but they didn't for whatever reason, just keep note that they were honoring their own fallen teammate with that 91 and that they, in fact, DID wear both numbers at times. I also don't see any Giants players with a 91 on their helmets in this video.
Alford's sack is sooo underrated
Facts if he doesn’t sack Brady than Brady doesn’t underthrow moss on the next play
Best game for a Giants fan. Brady is the GOAT but Eli took two from him.

@@michaelmaryhugh4615 The point being made was that they got to the Super Bowl as a 10-6 wild card team up from 8-8 in the season before. The wild card Giants beat the Patriots who had an undefeated regular season.
From a Patriot Fan
On Any Given Sunday
Watching this again after so many years I realized the Pats D was throwing everything at Eli, constant pressure in his face play after play, they earned every yard that last drive.
The TD to Plax was so surreal as I remember Eli floating one to the corner, my stomach in my throat and as the camera pans over I see Plax wide open and was just watching the ball float into his arms. Sat there dazed, so awesome.
There have been some amazing, iconic Super Bowl winning drives in history…but so much happened on this drive that it’s hard to deny it’s the most amazing, iconic drive in Super Bowl history
Beside my kid being born. This is the greatest night of my life! Go giants!!!
Yeah Jb is a Pudd
Bro, I feel the same way!!
My daughter, Chloe Mae was born on this night! She is my Super Bowl baby! ❤
@@mysticalove I’m so sorry you missed the birth of your daughter 😂

Joe buck: *most unenthusiastic call on the craziest play ever*
Troy Aikman: *trying not to laugh* oh my god!
One of the happiest days of my life! Great memories with my dad on this one
For historical purposes, the 2007 New England Patriots had one of the biggest chokes in sports given the feats they had on the line including a perfect 19-0 season.
The game itself was a toss up because both defenses were solid. The 2016 Atlanta Falcons had a worse choke than the 2007 Pats for a single game along with the 1992 Houston Oilers against the Buffalo Bills.
Eli Manning is the only person in the WORLD that can talk Football Smack to Tom Brady
I think it's hilarious that the Goofy brother did that to Tom
And Big Nick
I will never forget that game! It's stored up there in my library of games that exceed seven that were the most exciting football games I've ever seen
As a life long NYG Fan, this will never get old. So sweet.
And no one gave them a chance at the beginning of the season.
@@jokerinthebronx or when they made the playoffs
I can never get tired of this.
It's nice to revisit the game that I lost 2 years of my life from plain anxiety. Ty for making me relive it😎
These moments are so therapeutic.
I'm a Patriots fan and I was legit worried about this game going into it. We looked absolutely terrible against San Diego in the conference championship and there were reports that we were sloppy during practice leading up to the game as well. The pressure of going 19-0 was getting to us and it showed.
People forget the Giants made quite a few mistakes that we uncharacteristically did not capitalize on.
That chargers team got so unlucky over the years playing in the AFC against prime Brady, Ben and Peyton. Just a gauntlet they couldn't get past.
@@random-nz7dy Chargers were by far the best team the year Peyton got the SB with the Colts. They made so many mistakes against the Patriots in that playoff game and still would have won if the DB would have only fell down after getting what should have been the game winning interception.
The chargers in 2007 were a great team too. They took down the colts in the playoffs and wasn't Rivers basically playing on a bad acl vs the pats? They really are an unlucky team though still are
Still one of the greatest plays in the super bowl
Arguably #1
best football game ever... why did they care bout the final sec cmon
As a Giants fan I lost my mind...
till the day I die, Eli will always be my hero...nailed these dudes TWICE shafting their perfect season in one of those SB. Eli was under fire on that final drive constantly...and his receivers didnt get perfect separation like Brady's guys did. The Giants were gassed that final drive of Brady's...the separation Moss and othrs got was embarrassing. But oh no, Aikmon's man love for Brady was sickening. Eli, you kicked Brady's ass and you're my hero.
From a colts fan I’ll forever be grateful for Eli Manning 🤘🏻
Oh Please ,Eli is the luckiest mf ever. Pats lost this on their own. They literally dropped 3 ints in the final 2 min! Eli escapes a 3 man sack and throws a no look HAIL MARY! LUCKIEST DUDE EVER!!!!
The most incredible part of this whole video is how terrible Joe Buck is.
I don’t see all the hate for a very competent announcer.
@@tishtashtishtashjust zero energy
@@olliemcdowell4503 so did pat summerall. but as a play-by-play man, it's not wrong.
@theog2306 "Manning LOBS IT, Burress alone, TOUCHDOWN NEW YORK!" I mean I felt that was a pretty good call on that TD by Buck I think. 🙂
@@tishtashtishtashI think the game was called properly
I’ll never forget this. My favorite game of all time. I hated the Patriots. Seeing Payton cheer for his brother was so great. My brother passed away that year. I was so happy our Giants won!
nobody talks enough about Jay Alford’s sack, HOLY SHIT it was so clutch. To push them back 10 yards in that high pressure situation. If it weren’t for that sack, the pass to Randy Moss on the next play could’ve probably been complete.
Never gets old. ELi looked like a kid in his back yard after TD.
Seen this many times. The same results. A Patriots fan.
I'll make a video on this if the Pat's won
It hurt that brady lost times to a manning
I watch it over and over and every time I slightly forget that this was fourteen years ago and the Pats aren’t going to pull it out
I hate it but this is objectively probably the best super bowl ever
One of the Top 5 Super Bowl upsets of all time.
Top 2
@@gaudimatos5563 - Well...I think most put Jets over Colts #1...and Patriots over Rams #2...after that it's probably open for debate I guess. But this one is definitely up there.
28-3 is number 1. Falcons had a 98.7% chance of winning with only 18min left, but they forgot Brady is a football God..💪🏻
@@obnoxious3388 - It was the best quarter of football ever. But the Patriots were 3 point favorites in that Super Bowl...so not really an upset.
@@gaudimatos5563 this is #1
Dude watching this just brought back so many memories !! What a time! I remember being at a huge Super Bowl Party in Nj and we were just going crazy I was just a kid. Highlight of my fan life!! Have lost touch with football since 2015 but this will forever be the best!
It never gets old. One of the greatest moments of my life. From the moment they intercepted Tony Romo in the end zone to beat the Cowboys, I knew the Giants would win the Super Bowl. Even when Moss caught that touchdown at 2:45 left, I said "We've got 'em right where we want 'em." 2 minutes to a touchdown and run out the clock. I could be on my death bed, penniless, and all someone would have to do is whisper in my ear "the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl", and I would die with a smile on my face.
5:00 I believe Giants were destined to win.
Leave it up to Buck to kill the moment
@@mglmill5082 lol how
@@calebdiamond5294 goes up like a basketball player lol
So many crazy stupid things happened that were basically a miracle play that I don’t see how anyone can argue that.
The same thought crossed my mind when he made that catch.
The most deserving win in Superbowl history🏉
It’s crazy how 2 minutes in sports can be the longest 2 minute ever
I was 18 at the time. It was a rainy, dreary day in southern CA, where I was watching this game with some friends in a house whose owners I hardly knew. The game went on through the late afternoon. We ate some pasta that nobody really took the time to prepare.
The guy caught the football on his head, and Plaxico redeemed himself with a game winning TD catch.
I'll never forget it.
I'm so happy to watch the final 2 minutes of this OUTSTANDING Super Bowl!!! Eli Manning will forever have a place in my heart for TWICE beating the stinking Patriots. (Bills fan here)
Another nanosecond and the back judge was gonna whistle and call "in the grasp", he was already starting to signal it, then Eli broke free, for the greatest superbowl catch ever....Wheww...that was close 😬
My favorite Super Bowl ever I will never forget it. Seeing my Giants upset one of the greatest football teams of all time was just a special night.
Greatest game ever I've been lucky to witness.
I was in Iraq on my first deployment during this we got to watch it as a unit such a rememberable superbowl
I will never get tired of watching this. Still smile everytime...
I’ve always said I think SB 42 as a whole was a bit underwhelming. However the last 3 drives are one of the most legendary sequences in NFL history. But man Patriots blew this, mulitiple missed ints, didn’t take the FG, not getting the fumble early on.
People act like the Giants played perfectly, but it’s more like the Pats gave them the game
Peyton clapping for Eli is awesome he’s just so happy for him
I love watching these videos! Thanks for making them. Eli is a HOFer imo
Crazy to realize Brady was already 30 here with 8 years of experience. Even a 23 year old rookie would be 38 years old now. Brady has withstood Father Time unlike any athlete in history.
Lebron James
that coverage by Webster at the end is as clean as you get and vs one of the best WRs in NFL history
Greatest moments with my giants winning both Superbowl vs. Pats! 💪🙏
Brandon Jacobs. One my fav RBs all time.
I liked his comments after beating the Patriots the second time. He was asked what the game meant, in beating the Patriots for the second time, he paused, thought for a second, then said: "we decapitated them."
I live in Indiana, so my family is all die hard Colts fans. Especially my brother, he idolized Peyton growing up. So therefor when Eli got drafted, the Giants became my favorite team. I didn’t really have one before then, as in ‘04 I was only 6 or 7. Also, I got a Tiki Barber poster at a book fair, and the Giants matched the colors of our high school team. So it all made sense for them to be my favorite 😂 but they have been ever since and I never once said otherwise. A few years ago I went to my first and only giants game, in Indy. We stayed at the same hotel all the players did. I saw and met a lot of them. My brother and I were the only ones not bothering them, and the only ones not pressing them for autographs. We appeared to be the only true fans, as everyone else was looking for something to get signed and sell. So some of the players chit chatted with us like Evan Engram, Wil Hernandez, Aldric Rosas (I know none of them are with the Giants now), and a few other O-line players. I did ask Janoris Jenkins for a picture and he said no. I tried talking to Sterling Shepherd, I was walking up to him and he must have seen me chatting with the other players, because he started my way and was about to dap me up, before a group of people start shoving stuff in his face. He gave me a look like “my bad man” so I said it’s all good lol. Front desk person told us the Eli and Saquon walked in together early in the morning and haven’t been through since. I then sat in a chair at the lobby and a few men in suits came and asked if they could sit there and I said yeah idc. Then a few more, and a few more. They then asked me if I could move, I said no. They kept talking. I was sitting right in the middle of them, they asked me to move again, I said no. Come to find out, it was the head coach at the time, the other position coaches, the GM, and owner. 😂 But then I saw the man. David Tyree. He walked by, and that’s when the real fans came out. People swarmed him, it was like seeing God almost. Obviously he wasn’t on the team at this time and hadn’t played in years, but he must’ve been traveling with them for whatever reason, I’m not sure. This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I must add: so I’m a bigger guy, like 6’3”, and at the time I was like 250 pounds. I used to lift weights a lot but hadn’t in a while but I guess I somehow looked as if I was a player. I did have on an official Giants hoodie, and was dressed like most of them, and the fact that I was just hanging out with them, people got the idea that I was a player of some sort. I got asked for an autograph. So I said sure. They asked what position I played and I said “left out”. They took this as left outside linebacker? So I just yeah and went with it 😂
It's a scene that will forever be remembered for that catch, but as I was watching the live broadcast at the time, the scene where Tom Brady was sacked in the final sequence was the best. I was so nervous that he had time to deliver his final attack.
