Super Bowl XLII was definitely one for the ages and the key play from that game, the one that will always be remembered is the incredible circus catch by David Tyree on 3rd and 5 with 1:15 left.
Not only did the play gain 32 yards, it got the Giants a new set of downs and required two great individual efforts to make it happen.
First Eli Manning escaped the grasp of two Patriots defenders to buy himself some time. But I've seen quarterbacks do that before.
I can never remember seeing a wide receiver jump for a ball, and when his left hand was grabbed by the defender, use his helmet to secure the ball, then grab it again and reestablish possession, without the ball ever hitting the ground.
That is most definitely one that no one who saw it will soon forget.
