The Throw -- The Catch
Down 14-10 with about three minutes left in the game, Eli Manning orchestrated an 83-yard-drive that culminate in a touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress. "The Catch," however, refers to a 32-yard lob on third down with just a minute left in the game to David Tyree. Manning was surrounded by Patriots in what looked to be an almost certain sack. He managed to escape and launched the ball while being pursued by Patriots. Tyree caught the ball and clutched it against his helmet as he fell to ground, giving the Giants a first down just outside the red zone with 59 seconds left. New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin said it was one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history.The New York Times: Giants Stun Patriots in Super Bowl XLII -

@SI_PeterKing I have to think the Giants need a Super Bowl XLII-esque pass rush to beat the Chargers Sunday

@robgreeneII: (Cont'd) If you ask me, for example, the D-Line should have been MVP of Super Bowl XLII, but their surnames weren't Manning.
