Tyree made two key plays in Super Bowl XLII, putatively earning an MVP award in the eyes of some fans, that went, just as justifiably, to Quarterback Eli Manning. Eli Manning 's pass to David Tyree in the final two minutes of Super Bowl XLII was an instrumental play in the New York Giants 17–14 victory Super Bowl XLII featured the National Football Conference (NFC champion New York Giants and the American Football Conference (AFC champion New England First he caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Eli Manning, Tyree's first of the season, that gave the Giants a 10-7 lead late in the game. Elisha Nelson Manning IV (born January 3 1981 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American football Quarterback for the New York Giants [9] Later, on a 3rd-and-5 with 1:15 remaining and trailing 14-10, Manning eluded an almost-certain sack and threw 32 yards downfield towards towards Tyree. However, in Manning's words, the ball "floated" high. [10]

Tyree managed to leap just high enough to barely grasp it high above the ground, fully extended, bringing the ball down against his helmet with his right hand on the front third of the ball, while the defender, New England Patriots' Rodney Harrison, pulled violently downward on that arm, simultaneously wrenching Tyree arching backwards towards the turf. The New England Patriots, commonly called the " Pats " by sports writers and fans are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston Rodney Scott Harrison (born December 15, 1972 in Markham Illinois) is an American football safety for the New England Patriots Tyree, who managed to get a second hand on the ball during the descent, seemingly kept the ball only a single inch from turf contact (and a possible trap call by the referee), thereafter struggling successfully for possession while Harrison tried to steal the [9][11] ball away from him on the ground. "He's a gamer. I tried to tell you," Eli commented to his brother, Peyton, regarding Tyree, after the game. [12] Tyree had made 4 catches during the regular season. This catch was possibly the most dramatic play in Super Bowl history [ESPN Sports Center designated it the greatest play in Super Bowl history the next day], setting up the Giants to defy all odds and defeat the "perfect team," the 18-0 New England Patriots, considered a team of destiny. [The Patriots may have been overconfident for the game, their quarterback, Tom Brady, brushing off Eli Manning's greeting just before the game. ] The Patriots had already printed "19-0" season memorabilia. The pass, to the 23 yard line, set up the Giants for a final assault on the end zone with 59 seconds left; four plays and 36 seconds later, Eli Manning lobbed a perfect pass from eight yards to Plaxico Burress, who made a deft double-cut maneuver in the left side of the end zone, for the winning touchdown. Plaxico Burress (Plax-ico (born August 12 1977 in Norfolk, Virginia) is an American football Wide receiver for the New York Giants The final score of Super Bowl XLII was Giants 17, Patriots 14. [13] Tyree dedicated this catch to his mother, Thelma, who died of a heart attack that year. Ironically, Manning had been criticized early in the season by Tiki Barber for a lack of intensity.
