I believe that Thierry Henry once said that, whenever he rewatches the 2006 World Cup final, he still thinks that France can win. I felt the same way you did, but I was watching this for the first time. So I can appreciate Henry’s sentiment too.
The crowd in this game has the most "Buzz" of any NFL crowd I've EVER heard. Argue if you will about "best" Superbowls, this was the most "important" Superbowl EVER played...
My reasoning: The Helmet Catch, is awesome, but also overrated. It’s 3rd and 5, Roughly midfield. If Tyree can’t make the catch, it’s 4 and 5. If Steve doesn’t make the play on the 3&11, best case it’s 4th and 3, while worst case it’s 4&11, going up against one of the greatest situational defenses in NFL history in the 2007 Pats, who have been operating very successfully all year on the bend-don’t-break idea of stopping teams cold in the red zone. No helmet catch, and the Giants still have half the field spreading out the NE defense, and they need 5 yards, but if Smith doesn’t make that play, that same NE defense only has to defend roughly 20 yards of field, knowing that the Giants will be going for the sidelines or the Endzone. Smith’s play prevented all that, but hardly gets a mention.
I will never forgive Joe Buck for how he called the helmet catch. One of the greatest plays in SB history and he makes it sound like a 1-yard run on 1st and 10 in the 2nd quarter.
Marv Albert's call on Westwood One was way better. I mute the Fox broadcast to hear Marv's call of the David Tyree catch. At least Joe Buck kinda atone for it with Eli to Plaxico Burress.

Not to mention that in at least one of those meetings, the pats were undefeated and their team was stacked. So effectively you have Brady playing his best, while being helped out by a very strong team. Kinda interesting
One of the most amazing things to me is that Michael Strahan planned to retire after the 2006 season, already a 14 year veteran in the franchise, but decided to come back for ONE more year. Who'd have thought his final year would give him his first and only Superbowl win against the undefeated evil empire. Strahan truly went out a champion. What an incredible way to conclude his NFL playing career. Strahan, Manning, Burress, Tyree, and everyone else who players were all Dragon Slayers this game.
How Eli escapes the sack and throws a good long ball and how Tyree holds on to it after Harrison does everything he can to get it out of Tyree are two things I still cannot fathom.. to this day. What a season.. what an incredible game !
That's because they changed that rules that season. Horse caller rule came into effect, forcing Willie McGinest to make a smart play and let go... Giants don't win this Superbowl without that rule change IMO.
I think Plax said in an interview years later that Rodney Harrison was at the time 1 INT away from being the all-time playoff leader, so he made a play for the INT instead of trying to bat it away or go at Tyree more directly (I understand it ws a jump ball). If thats the case, im shocked that aint talked about more often!
I’ll always remember Feagles not just for making Manning pay him to get his number 10 as a rookie and for being a monster corner punter while old as balls, but for him always having a massive fucking head every year in Madden in the 2000s
I remember watching this game as a Giants fan with my dad as a kid and him telling me "Son, that was the best game you'll ever watch. It's all downhill from here." He was right.
He couldn't have been more wrong they went on to win another Superbowl and they had multiple winning seasons after that. It was all down hill starting in the 16' season.
I watched this with my dad as well. I was in my mid 20s and we said the same thing. That's all we could talk about was how this was the best game we'd ever seen. And my dad watched way more football than me with all the games he saw before I was born. I always watched the SB with my dad, I never went to parties.
I came back here to get motivated for the Giants Vikings playoff game 2023 wildcard weekend. That play with Eli escaping a sack and throwing the helmet catch still gives me chills. Lets Go !!!
Peyton and Eli are the best brothers to ever do it. I can only imagine the amount of pride you can have for a younger brother who also makes it into the league and becomes a legend as well.
I haven’t rewatched this in years, and I’m just realizing how close Brady was to pulling off the unthinkable on that last drive. A couple of those passes were closer to catches than I remember
Giant fan since 1963 NFL title game. Never get tired of this footage. Eli was at his best in the biggest moments. Look foward to Elis induction to HOF.
@@reyh89 Hurt feelings? Because I don't think a sub .500 Quarterback should be in the HOF? And I've been a Giant fan for longer than you. There were no Patriots here in New England when I was a kid and the Giants were our home team. Posters on my wall included Charlie Connerly, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, etc. The AFL came along and I had a team in Boston but while rooting for them still stayed loyal to my New York (football) Giants. Twice I've had Super Bowls where I couldn't lose. Although I did lean towards having that undefeated season if I'm being honest. You called Brady the GOAT, and you're correct. I called Eli a sub .500 quarterback and I'm correct. No one's feelings should be hurt. Now let's go beat the Vikings this weekend you old goat with a small g-o-a-t.
The best Superbowl I've ever seen considering such an unexpected upset and incredible how the Giants made it there in the first place. This could be a movie and no one would believe it
I laugh when people call this game boring. They say how there was barely any scoring. I dont know how people weren't on the edge of their seat every time the Patriots had the ball because of the potential for them to blow the game open at any time. Or when the Giants had the ball it was like is Eli going to start throwing picks, and he never did. The potential of what could happen on the next play made this game so interesting.
@@silverguard8105 so True! I don't understand how in any sport, that some people consider the most exciting games to be the ones with the most points scored! It's utterly ridiculous. Like you said, the powerhouse scoring machine of the Patriots could've any minute of the game made the ceiling crash in on the Giants. The Giants resilience wouldn't allow it to happen. You could cut the tension with a knife. Anyone who didn't feel or understand that don't understand what real competition is about.
@@silverguard8105 nothing is more disheartening than seeing your hometown QB throw 7 touchdowns, yet still lose the game, which is what happened to Eli in 2015 against the Saints. Saints 52, Giants 49. Obviously a defensive battle for the ages. LOL
At least Joe Buck kinda made up for it with Eli to Plaxico Burress for the touchdown. Marv Albert's call on the David Tyree catch on Westwood One was way better.
I remeber watching this in the kitchen with my step dad. The memory burned in my mind from this super bowl. Lots of excitment, lots of WTFs, and an ending to one of the best Superbowls I've ever seen. My step dads gone now, and may he rest in peace. The memories that flood back to me from the last 2 odd sum minutes of this game where amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
As an Eagles fan, it brought tears of joy to watch my NFC East brothers dismantle the Pats perfect season. Thank you Eli, Plaxico, Michael Strahan, and all the warriors that night.
Ah yes, I remember the days when people hated Brady and said he only won because of his great coach and bad division. Now he's everyone's favorite and his garbage division doesn't matter cuz it was Belichick that sucked all along. Never thought I'd long for the days defending Brady lol this SB hurt like a MF
I never realized how lucky Eli was on that last drive. He almost gave the ball away like 5 times. Truly a one in a million chance things turned out the way they did. If I were one of those NE defenders I’d be sick to my stomach every day for the rest of my life.
Came back to this after Brady announcing his retirement. Eli looked More like he was having an out of body experience on that last drive. Not sure I’m convinced he was in control. Lol
@@jhaz89 exactly, he played better in other super bowl against the pats. And his pass to Mario Manningham was way better then the one to Tyree. Tyree catch is what made that play.
I'm a rare fan I'm both a Giants and Jet Fan The Jets only won one Superbowl.. But it was the most important one.. It was the reason the NFL and the AFL merged....and gave us the NFL we enjoy today....I see the XFL and USFL doing the same if they want to guarantee a successful professional spring football league
My grandfather passed away and went to be with Jesus a couple years after this. He was a die hard giants fan. I remember as a sophomore in high school watching this Super Bowl at his house. I actually cried watching it tonight remembering him. Praise God for this wonderful game and memory I had with my grandfather
Brady wouldnt give up his first 2001 the 28 3 comeback and now I feel this years with TB cause it was done without Belicheck. But he definitely would take Ls in the others to have this undefeated season no doubt
Same deal, but by the third quarter my dad just went into a dark room and waited for it to end. Once we realized it was possible I think the nerves were just too much. That was such a special day for our family and so many others. Go Giants
I was watching the game in a New England bar that night. I thought I was probably the only Giants fan there, but then I noticed a young couple who were silent whenever the Patriots did something positive--while everyone else was whooping it up. So I went over to them, told them I was rooting for the Giants, and asked if I could sit with them. They smiled and said sure, and told me that they were indeed Giants fans. I'll always remember the looks on the Patriots' fans faces after Brady's final Hail Mary failed: people were just staring at the screens, mouths agape and eyes like saucers. Meanwhile, I and my new friends quietly celebrated amongst ourselves.
Pats fan here, Huge respect to the Giants for beating us twice in the SB with Belichick & Brady. That's tough shit. Great organization. Congratulations on the amazing SB victories!
Yes us because he is a fan that supports the patriots. God i hate people like you. We loterally put the food on their tables by supporting them. @@theGiver3
Especially the moments leading up to this. Giants being a wild card team to barely make playoffs. Pat's having a perfect season. A true David vs Goliath moment
So many underrated moments that are overlooked but so crucial on that final drive: Toomer's clutch catches in the dirt. Jacobs somehow picking up that 4th and 1 when the entire team and region of New England knew he was running the ball. Eli somehow holding on to the ball after the attempted strip/tackle by Thomas @3:51 Smith's tightrope walk on 3rd and 11 to get the 1st. Jacobs sliding over to pick up an untouched Harrison off the edge so Eli can get the clean fade pass off to Burress. The Helmet Catch is obviously an all-timer and remembered as such, but the plays above laid the foundation of the G-Men winning that game.
This always takes me back to when I first watched this game live. Each play after Brady hit Moss, my heart was THUMPING. Oh, what a time to be a Giants fan.
I'll never get tired of watching this video. Before Superbowl 42, Plaxico Burress predicted a NY Giants 23 - 17 win over The Mighty 17 - 0 Patriots. When Tom Brady heard Burress' prediction, Brady laughed "HAH. We're ONLY going to score 17 points on 'em". And especially when the Patriots scored to take the lead 14 - 10 with 2:42 left on the clock. Joe Buck describing "a methodical drive put together by the game's BEST... Tom Brady (sigh)". But when David Tyree caught that desperation pass with 1:00 left in regulation. Troy Aikman; shocked, had no choice but to announce "OH MY GOD!!! This ball's thrown and Tyree just goes up for it like a basketball player. And Harrison trying to knock knock it down!". And the piece de resistance. "Manning, lobs it. BURRESS... ALONE!!! Touchdown, New York!!!" - Joe Buck.
@@JDFrank20Diaz Pats ended it when they went 18-0. Yes they lost the last game to go 18-1, but they stopped celebrating it, even Don Shula acknowledged it..Amazing season by Patriots still 1 of the Patriot fans favorite season...🤯🤯🤯
@@shinnychariot8858 Alabama cause they have all the best talent It's always Alabama Clemson Georgia Always getting the best recruiting and it's boring how many times have we seen Alabama Vs Clemson since the Playoff was a thing it gets repetitive Again Nick Saban Great Coach and Offocurse all the Best High School Prospects want to Learn under His Leadership and discipline to make it into the NFL alot easier
I'm a Dolphins fan that has suffered since Dan retired but has some solace in having the only perfect season. I also live in Boston. Watching the '07 Patriots, i was resigned to the fact they were going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. Patriots fans were insufferable. The talk wasn't just that they would win it all, but that they would be the better undefeated team and how Miami was trash. I stopped listening to sports radio from November on. This Super Bowl is probably one of the top greatest sporting events of my life. It was truly incredible.
The 84" 49ers were essentially undefeated. the referee made an awful call during week 7 that turned the game. The 85' bears had a rush that only Dan Marino could ruin. Marino did; and exposed the 46
Boston fans have long been said to be terrible, and that's not just anyone talking, that's athlete's that play in front of fans across the country. Watching that game end as it did was so sweet.
This game showcased everything that the Giants were that year. Smothering defense all over Brady, 4th and 1 conversion with Jacobs, Eli being clutch in the 4th quarter on the road.
Giants defense did a hell of a job keeping the Pat's in check. Manning got it done when it counted clutch in 4th quarter. Randy Moss the most dangerous player on the field. The last drive the man flew threw the defense and had to slow down a step and wait for the ball. If Brady gets it out a yard further Moss never breaks stride, makes the catch and he's still running. He'll of a game.
@@bigsassyster I disagree. Eli mannings post season play on both super bowl runs was spectacular! In 07 and 11 he out deuled Bret farve Aaron Rodgers Matt Ryan Tony Romo Garcia plus Brady twice. That's not an accident. That man passed all the qb tests of skill and toughness 2x. He didn't have the huge numbers that his brother had, but he's got the same number of super bowl rings.
@@michaelstone7514 His defense won him those championships. Even in your statements that they went through all those great QBs just shows in was the Giants defense that won. They averaged only 16 points given up in 2007 playoffs, and 14 points given up in 2011. They never allowed more than 20 points in a game. That is all defense. In the Super Bowls, his offense only put up 20 and 21 points.
I think Brady & Pats panicked! They was playin like they had no chance to tie the game with a fg. Plus they had 1 timeout. I kno everything went to hell after Giants got all of those crazy plays.
If this was a movie you would roll your eyes, Eli was something special this day, sheds those tackles heaved a prayer and tyree came down with a miracle
Two consecutive plays. Asante Samuel drops the potential game-clinching INT. The very next play, David Tyree's helmet makes a catch. Those two plays crushed NE.
If Samuel had been a Giants receiver making the same leap on the same ball, everyone would be criticizing Manning for not giving him a chance to catch it. The ball was too high and out and if he got his hands on it, no way he comes down in-bounds with the momentum and angle of his jump. Samuel did well to even touch that ball. It was an amazing feat of athleticism on his part and a good job on Manning's to put the ball where it could not be intercepted. I hate people trying to reduce two good players' efforts on this play to failures, Samuel's failure to catch a ball he never had a chance, and Manning's alleged luck that the defense failed to make an impossible play.
Remember that the last week of the regular season, 2007, in December when New England was going for the perfect record, the game was against these same NY Giants and was televised by BOTH NBC and CBS...still gives me chills to this day when I think how Brady hit Moss with that 60 yard TD bomb after blowing it the play before. Incredible season.
I was at that game and just remember thinking, damn, we can beat this team. Best team in NFL history but big blue had their number. After week 17 we were the last team they wanted to see in the super bowl. Road warriors baby!!!
@@melev23 In the regular season contest, the Giants scored more points than anyone had on the Patriots all year. In the Super Bowl, the Giants held the Patriots to fewer points than anyone had all year. I said after the Giants beat the Cowboys, it was the outcome that had to have the Patriots the most worried of any possibility in that division round. And good on both teams for going all out to win a regular season game the pundits said was meaningless, because they were locked in to the 5th and 1st seeds in their respective conferences, regardless of the outcome.
After watching this a 10th+ time, as a Raider fan I might add to the discussion, Eli made the single greatest throw in NFL history and a no name David Tyree came up with the grab. It was nothing short of incredible, and that play is why the NFL is the greatest sport on earth. There are always no-name contributors on the winning team. The common team, the common man, can make a world of difference.
The result was good, but he literally heaved up a prayer into quadruple coverage, lol. Any QB not named Mahomes would get chewed out for even attempting that throw.
till the day I die, Eli will always be my hero...nailed these dudes TWICE shafting their perfect season in one of those SB. Eli was under fire on that final drive constantly...and his receivers didnt get perfect separation like Brady's guys did. The Giants were gassed that final drive of Brady's...the separation Moss and othrs got was embarrassing. But oh no, Aikmon's man love for Brady was sickening. Eli, you kicked Brady's ass and you're my hero.
Oh Please ,Eli is the luckiest mf ever. Pats lost this on their own. They literally dropped 3 ints in the final 2 min! Eli escapes a 3 man sack and throws a no look HAIL MARY! LUCKIEST DUDE EVER!!!!
I'm a Patriots fan and I was legit worried about this game going into it. We looked absolutely terrible against San Diego in the conference championship and there were reports that we were sloppy during practice leading up to the game as well. The pressure of going 19-0 was getting to us and it showed. People forget the Giants made quite a few mistakes that we uncharacteristically did not capitalize on.
@@random-nz7dy Chargers were by far the best team the year Peyton got the SB with the Colts. They made so many mistakes against the Patriots in that playoff game and still would have won if the DB would have only fell down after getting what should have been the game winning interception.
The chargers in 2007 were a great team too. They took down the colts in the playoffs and wasn't Rivers basically playing on a bad acl vs the pats? They really are an unlucky team though still are
This is probably the single greatest come from behind win in SB history. Period. The Giants win this game with some wild magic as a 9-7 wild card vs an undefeated Juggernaut. This is my favorite game of all the time and in my opinion the best football game ever played. Absolutely incredible.
I never had an issue with the Pat's winning until this year. As a Washington Football Team Fan it REALLY BURNED ME UP that the whole league wore 91 and 21 for Sean Taylor that year, except for the Pats who only wore the 91 patch. I took my hatred for division rival Giants, n shifted it all to NEW ENGLAND THAT YEAR!! To this day I still dont know why they didnt put the 21 patch on they helmets.
I’m a WFT/Redskins fan too... that didn’t bother me so much but my brother and dad are huge Giants fans and we loved every second of this one:.. still to this day the best SB ever
didn't even realize that; as a Giants fan Sean Taylor was and is my favorite player of all time just one more reason to love this game and the Giants shitting on the arrogant Patriots
Dude, there are literally images showing and articles discussing how guys like Brady and Wilfork wore both decals (Wilfork especially, as he played with Taylor when they both played for the Miami Hurricanes). Additionally, the 91 decal was a tribute to a PATRIOTS defensive end who died saving his girlfriend after getting into a jet ski accident. Now with that being said, I'm sure they could've easily just slapped on the 21 for this game along with the 91, but they didn't for whatever reason, just keep note that they were honoring their own fallen teammate with that 91 and that they, in fact, DID wear both numbers at times. I also don't see any Giants players with a 91 on their helmets in this video.
Makes me cry watching this. Die hard Giants fan, what an amazing drive. My Giants have had many great SuperBowl moments. This here is a sweet one. Such a great team! Tyree held in to that ball so tight, it never did touch the ground. 3 of the top 5 Super Bowls ever played belong to the Giants.
I will never forget these moments as long as I live, watching it brings such nostalgia. Watched them for 20 years before getting to experience a super bowl as I was too young to remember their victories in the late 80’s/early 90s. Just Epic!!!🎉🎉🎉
For historical purposes, the 2007 New England Patriots had one of the biggest chokes in sports given the feats they had on the line including a perfect 19-0 season. The game itself was a toss up because both defenses were solid. The 2016 Atlanta Falcons had a worse choke than the 2007 Pats for a single game along with the 1992 Houston Oilers against the Buffalo Bills.
@@michaelmaryhugh4615 The point being made was that they got to the Super Bowl as a 10-6 wild card team up from 8-8 in the season before. The wild card Giants beat the Patriots who had an undefeated regular season. From a Patriot Fan On Any Given Sunday
I’ll never forget this. My favorite game of all time. I hated the Patriots. Seeing Payton cheer for his brother was so great. My brother passed away that year. I was so happy our Giants won!
There have been some amazing, iconic Super Bowl winning drives in history…but so much happened on this drive that it’s hard to deny it’s the most amazing, iconic drive in Super Bowl history
This drive has to be the greatest, if not one of the greatest final drives of all time in Superbowl history! I remember being on my feet the whole time on edge for every single play at my Father's house with the rest of the family. Then when he delivered that TD strike to Plax I completely lost it! That was the best game I ever watched and knew at that point that Eli was the guy. Congratulations on #10 being retired this Sunday! Well deserved and an absolute legend and one heck of a guy.
@@gaudimatos5563 - Well...I think most put Jets over Colts #1...and Patriots over Rams #2...after that it's probably open for debate I guess. But this one is definitely up there.
The greatest non-call by a ref in NFL history, the greatest escape from a sack in NFL history, the greatest catch in NFL history. All on the same play. Took down perfection.
nobody talks enough about Jay Alford’s sack, HOLY SHIT it was so clutch. To push them back 10 yards in that high pressure situation. If it weren’t for that sack, the pass to Randy Moss on the next play could’ve probably been complete.
Another nanosecond and the back judge was gonna whistle and call "in the grasp", he was already starting to signal it, then Eli broke free, for the greatest superbowl catch ever....Wheww...that was close 😬
Watching this again after so many years I realized the Pats D was throwing everything at Eli, constant pressure in his face play after play, they earned every yard that last drive. The TD to Plax was so surreal as I remember Eli floating one to the corner, my stomach in my throat and as the camera pans over I see Plax wide open and was just watching the ball float into his arms. Sat there dazed, so awesome.
It's a scene that will forever be remembered for that catch, but as I was watching the live broadcast at the time, the scene where Tom Brady was sacked in the final sequence was the best. I was so nervous that he had time to deliver his final attack.
I watch it over and over and every time I slightly forget that this was fourteen years ago and the Pats aren’t going to pull it out I hate it but this is objectively probably the best super bowl ever
Crazy to realize Brady was already 30 here with 8 years of experience. Even a 23 year old rookie would be 38 years old now. Brady has withstood Father Time unlike any athlete in history.
I never noticed on the Patriots extra point how close Michael Johnson came to blocking it. He got around the end of the formation with decent position. If he had, a 13-10 score changes that next drive in every conceivable way. This crazy game of football, I tell ya.
I was in third grade when this happened. I stayed up all night crying like a baby. Heartbroken to see my team go down. I went to school the next day wearing my Brady jersey. Sat alone at lunch while everyone poked fun at me. I remember my gym teacher said something to me that day, “It’s a stupid choice wearing that jersey after what happened, but I respect the heart kid.” One of the worst memories of my childhood lol
Ouch! 18 wins and 1 giant loss! That’s really a giant heartbreak if you’re a patriots fan. The only nfl team that’s undefeated are the 1972 Miami dolphins! If a loss sits with one of us, it is what it is. All there is is good sportsmanship and thats it, nobody’s perfect.
I remember EXACTLY where I was at, I was in Camp Warhorse in Iraq. I remember people going off at the Giants win, I also remember my homeboy from Boston 🤢 to his stomach.
One of our favorite for Pats fan. It showed the whole NFL and the other fans, we get knocked down and got back up 🤯🤯 Went on to win 3 more since then..AMAZING we Pats fans still go back to rewatch this season every-once in awhile ...Brady is a football god
@@6393dude Yup 18-1 and still one of our favorite seasons to re-watch. AMAZING season for Pats fans..It’s football so any team can win on Sunday, that’s what’s best about the game….07 was one of the best for Pats fans ….LETS GOOOO
I was 18 at the time. It was a rainy, dreary day in southern CA, where I was watching this game with some friends in a house whose owners I hardly knew. The game went on through the late afternoon. We ate some pasta that nobody really took the time to prepare. The guy caught the football on his head, and Plaxico redeemed himself with a game winning TD catch. I'll never forget it.
bill refuses to accept that he lost. man, i was in a friends car when this game was happening listening to the radio, and i was screaming so loud with this last drive from the giants. what an amazing super bowl game, the best ever. cinderella story here, crushed down the cocky giants. congrats to that hottie eli.
Dude watching this just brought back so many memories !! What a time! I remember being at a huge Super Bowl Party in Nj and we were just going crazy I was just a kid. Highlight of my fan life!! Have lost touch with football since 2015 but this will forever be the best!
