Top 10 Catches in NFL History
#1 - David Tyree Helmet Catch in Super Bowl XLII
January XX, 2008 - Super Bowl XLII vs Patriots
The Patriots were 18-0, going into Super Bowl XLII against the NFC’s 6th seeded New York Giants. There was no way the Giants could stop the most prolific offense in NFL history. With the Giants pass rush neutralizing Tom Brady and the Patriots, it was up to Eli Manning to make something happen with less than a minute remaining in the game. On 3rd & 5, Manning scrambles away from Patriots Jarvis Green to get off a 37 yard pass to David Tyree, who was covered by Rodney Harrison. Somehow, Tyree managed to out-wrestle Harrison for the ball, needing to secure the ball against his helmet to come down with it. Four plays later, the Giants would go on to throw a touchdown to Plaxico Burress and end the Patriots chances at an undefeated season.

WOW! All sorts of overrated catches on this list especially #1 and #2, “The Catch” is not as good as it seems David Tyree’s catch IS NOT THAT GOOD overrated. Eli Manning gets so much crap when David Tyree never would have even had he chance for the catch if it weren’t for him escaping the pocket. Where’s Brent Grimes? Catches should be based on how good the catch is not how much of an effect it has on the game. The helmet catch wasn’t even that good, i did the exact same thing in one of my middle school games, yet no one cares because this was the freakin super bowl. Tryree’s catch totally changed that game, but it belongs on a different list. Sorry NFL
