- Facing an equally determined foe in Roger Staubach, Bradshaw put together his best Super Bowl performance, throwing for 318 yards and four touchdowns. Both were records at the time.
- Using Pro Football Reference’s model, I measured the change in win probability for all 7,717 plays in super bowl history and have ranked the top 25. While some may argue that this gives unfair weight to plays that happen at the end of games ( high-leverage situations ), there will be more on this discussion later.
Many will remember Super Bowl XLII as the ‘Giant Upset’ due to the fact that the New York Giants took down the undefeated New England Patriots in one of the biggest upsets in sports history. The game also included one of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history.
David Tyree’s improbable helmet catch on the game-winning drive was recently ranked No. 1 among plays in Super Bowl history by NFL Films.

The play, which was a third-and-5, also included the eventual Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning, escaping three Patriots defenders to avoid the sack and heaving the ball down the field in Tyree’s direction.

Four years later, the Giants would beat Tom Brady and the Patriots again. Although not quite as iconic, Mario Manningham made a catch that was just as clutch as Tyree’s catch. Manningham’s catch ranked No. 10 on the list giving the Giants two plays in the top 10 on NFL Films’ list.

Tyree’s catch is one of the first things people think about when they remember Super Bowl XLII. It’s no surprise that Tyree’s catch ranks No. 1, although Pittsburgh Steelers fans may argue that it might not even be the greatest catch in Super Bowl history.
