The Greatest NFL Upset! (Giants vs. Patriots, Super Bowl 42) 

Junior Seau deserved that SB ring a hell of a lot more than Strahan did

@@chrisuncleahmad if only Junior Seau had been playing for the Giants.. I would've likely rooted for him then, sir 😉

and the Patriots never became Arrogant again?? LOL!

That's deep bro😂

@@jimnfl7134 he is talking about the insufferable patriot/brady fanboys

That’s crazy

Don’t forget the Jeff Garcia led buccaneers 😂😂

You’re really comparing Romo to a 3 time MVP and 07 Brady?

any given sunday

Got swept by the cowboys in the regular season as well

More like the crazy ending of my life

Eli Manning best NYG QB ever, he showed up 2x🏆🏈

It's crazy the amount of plays the pats defense blew on the last drive. Had so many oppurtunities to pick the ball away

@@antangelone That "pick" opportunity? 1. It was a very high throw, not easy. 2. It went off his fingertips, not through his hands. 3. If he did manage to hang on to it there's a big likelihood he would have been out of bounds. I've watched it a million times, he would have had to pull a Manningham play with his feet. Giants outplayed the Pats this game, period. Would have been a crime if they had lost. Pats all season averaged about 30 points. This day they got a whopping 14.

@@TWS-pd5dc 99 out of 100 times that pats team would beat the giants. Just wasn’t their day

@@TWS-pd5dc it went directly through his hands.

Wasn’t “everybody”. I won $600 on this game. Dummy

It was indeed, the rest of the NFL loved watching the Patriots lose that day

The Giants Oline got away with a bunch of holding on that fluke helmet catch play🤷‍♂️

Zip it, bandwagon Kraken fan.

@@greysonG10supporting my home team, nowhere near a bandwagon

Unless Coughlin decides to go for 2

@@chrisuncleahmad Lol imagine?

Still blows my mind

Arrogance. 16-0 regular season. 12 of those wins qualified as blowouts (minimum 10+ point margin of victory). Brady, Welker, Moss at peak power. 4th ranked defense in points allowed. Belichick simply didn’t believe the Giants could beat them. He ran into the tunnel before the game was even over.

I think someone said the Kicker was hurt or something like that drove me crazy on that one

Giants get their due...but that last drive was messy as hell with the exception of the last pass.

@@matthewfreeman33 The third-down conversion pass to Steve Smith before Eli Manning to Plaxico Burress on the Sluggo route for the touchdown was another key play.

nah theres better drives fs

​@@ImNesquiccnope

yes cry to a wall idc @@jaceking5938

I remember no one gave the giants a chance to win this game everyone said patriots win in a blowout in the Super Bowl

If memory serves me right this the third? Time the Giants spoiled a perfect season,,I remember it happened against Denver week 10??

@@demikatechis8788 I can remember three. Broncos twice: once in 1998 week 15, and another in 2005 week 8. And of course, this game

I remember the undefeated Dolphins being gigantic douchbags that year. Specifically Shula.

@@mshat18 Why Do U Think Miami Was Like That For?

@@mshat18 you must be from NE.

Yes!!! I remember I was so scared that NE would kill the NYG. I celebrated like my Phins won lol

I was a Dolphins fan back then (14 years old) before becoming a diehard Giants fan and I remember that year very well. The last thing I wanted was to see NE take away Miami legacy of being the only undefeated team. Yes, I still like the Dolphins.

20 years? nah bro you gotta try 50! i don't see the giants progressing even further for a very long time, it's that very bad! as for the patriots? i have no idea how long they'll be struggling but i'm still here being patient with their rebuild! at least they're not a hot mess organization wise like the giants are! give us 3 to 5 years to build the team into a championship contenders!

As a Patriots fan, nothing but respect for Eli and the Giants. All four of your titles are great stories with amazing players and clutch moments.

@@halamadridpatriotsnationgo1057 The Giants did win at least one Super Bowl for four straight decades. You may never know if Big Blue has a fifth consecutive decade with a title in the 2020s. BTW, the Jets are more of a fluke than the Giants.

@@joesakic91 nope, i don't see it happening for the giants in this decade. the streak stops here. if they can't get their act straight for 13 seasons since their last super bowl win. what makes you think they're going to make anything positive of what's remaining in the 2020s. fat chance.

@@halamadridpatriotsnationgo1057 Who knows? The Giants won it all in 1986 and 1990 and had to wait 17 years for 2007 and 2011. The pattern staying the same?!

They didn’t beat the Pats at their own game. The 2007 Pats were one of the best offenses ever and were used to scoring 30-40 most games, The Giants beating the Pats at their own game would mean that they beat them in a shoot out. The Pats played the game the Giants wanted to play, which was a lower scoring defensive game.

@@breesybird9207 Na ELi got that Brady luck and was able to win

@@joncokejones9318 Brady didn’t win cause of luck

@Breesybird9 nah he definately did story of his career

@@joncokejones9318 Good thing the Super Bowl doesn't recognize "luck". There's a winner and a loser.

Y’all have too many rings already 😂

​@@joncokejones9318 This one was the most important of all of them in my opinion, an undefeated season and they had quite a few players that year who deserved a Ring.

@@sickboy8914 And had 19-0 happened, Seau would've stayed retired after 2007 and 2010 would've been Moss' final season. Moss would've gone to Canton at the same time as Favre and maybe just maybe Seau would've avoided killing himself knowing he was a yr away from going to Canton in his 1st yr of eligibility. Then again, the effects of CTE are still a factor.

Tom has enough rings but I really wanted Moss to get a ring :( best receiver ever

Tom has enough rings but I really wanted Moss to get a ring :( best receiver ever

Thanks Asante Samuel as well. That missed open INT should have ended the game.

U must have forgotten pats beat rams as 14 point underdogs

@@jayyabhdjdjdjd1063the Giants were double digit underdogs and the Rams weren’t undefeated. Big upset but it’s not beating an 18-0 team upset

@@BCarr2007 the giants were not double digit underdogs. The line was 3 so no

@@jayyabhdjdjdjd1063 actually the line was 12. The line wasn’t 3 you fool lmao. You can even look it up on this little search engine called google. You really know your sports and information 😂😂🤡🤡

@@jayyabhdjdjdjd1063 the Giants were 12 point underdogs. WTF are you talking about. Stop commenting if you know nothing about football. You’re still salty going 18-1 all these years later you’re still trying your best to create excuses and cope 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

His catch, and the Clarence Davis catch, back in '74, in the Dolphins/ Raiders playoff game, Sea of Hands, goes to show how players with the worst hands on the team, can come up with improbable catches, in the clutch.

Actually Patrick mahomes falling throw in the Super Bowl is by far the greatest incompletion of all time.

@@livinginhoustontexas18 mahomes threw it when his receiver never had a chance. If Moss wasn’t tired he would’ve jumped for that and caught it with his body.

@@jump6098 bro he hit his receiver on the face mask 🤦🏾‍♂️. He just didn’t catch it.

​@@livinginhoustontexas18 that one would have had no effect on that superbowl. They would have lost anyways. Meanwhile if moss caught this one, there would have at least been OT and maybe the pats go undefeated.

@@giovannygarica275 damn I stand corrected lol. Makes plenty of sense!

Hurts because we were 18-0, because this is one of brady best years so many records , Randy moss gets a ring , they tore any real patriots fan heart out this day smh … I would take this superbowl as a win over the rams Super Bowl 2019

18-1*

As a Giants fan, all respect to the entire Pats team that season. They were magnificent the entire season including in the Super Bowl. I am not being sarcastic. Eli just had that fire in his eyes in the Super Bowl. Honestly I did not think Giants would win at the end but would give a good fight. But as the game progressed in the first half, the Eli’s eyes lit a fire across the entire team.

Your team caused deeper traumas to other teams so...

2008 sucked. $5 gas and the Recession.

@@finchborat it was more like a bootleg version of 2020

@@Frankieefootballmundial More like a mini 2020. It was the worst year of my life until 2020. However, unlike 2008, I wasn't dealing with a bunch of personal problems in 2020.

Same graduated from high school

I loved 2008..very nostalgic for that time 08-09 but cant return! Must make the future great!! Wish you guys all the best

Corners was like 20 yards back and moss still had a step on them.😂😂😂 if only Brady had a lil more arm strength

He threw those last 2 passes like 75 yards to Miss. Still today one of the most impressive throws based on arm strength I've seen completed or not

Usually that’s how it goes when they don’t catch it lol

Kinda like the Eagles line this year

I'm thinking the same.

@@kman215 not really cuz they lost

The chiefs are the ones with the same dc… their defense is the new giants and they’re also a dynasty like the patriots lol

It had a couple of all time moments but I feel like the story line is what makes the game so great. The giants from a wildcard seed team upsetting the undefeated patriots. As far as super bowls standing alone with no story, this one wasn’t really all that crazy.

@@ManiacClear Nah i disagree, this game had the clutchest catch of probably the entire season in it that led to a game winning td. That helmet catch was the most clutch catch of the entire playoffs, no question and probably the entire season. And it led to a game winning td, idk thats a pretty crazy ending.

​@@profo4544combined with Eli escaping what looked to be like 3 sure sacks, that's the greatest football play of all time

Right. An underrated feature every yr, the different designs. Then they went basic

@@mike91mdk45 now the logos look like if they were made at a cheap print shop

that pass is also perfect to show Brady's arm strength, like it went almost 70 yards deep and from the space between right hash/numbers to the left sides numbers

Football Gods were definitely involved in that game.😄

Who cares? They lost when it counted. And the bigger question…..did they cheat that year?

And ultimately it meant jack shit.

Indeed. The Giants defense played very well don't get me wrong, but New England really did shoot themselves in the foot by not running the ISO Scheme and trying to go for the Long Ball, instead of short intermediate passes and the occasional play actions.

I would agree but they had no running game the giants were not gonna respect PA . Maybe the league really is rigged?

Not, when it is 7-3 after three quarters=BORING!!

@@jimnfl7134 The suspense of the final 3 minutes will NEVER be matched. Plus ever heard of appreciating good defense?

@@NYGForever When fan remember Greatest Games, they usually mean most of the Game not a few Minutes!

@@jimnfl7134 Sometimes the game needs to go that way as a build up to make the ending great like a movie 🤷‍♂️

It was, for me anyway

But the road playoff win against Romo, and the 13-3 Cowboys was special,

Should have been holding on the Giants Olinemen, take your pick. But it is what it is. Asante Samuel should have intercepted that ball the play before this miracle catch.

I'd always felt that Strahan and Justin Tuck, should have been named co-mvp''s in this game

It was one of the greatest, but Super Bowl 25 gets my vote.

@@classicgalactica5879 Fair enough although I have to give it to this one 💯

Superbowl 44 in my opinion is way better.

Amen. I still haven't gotten over it.

@@jxchamb I Feel You Sir Without A Doubt.

Oh get over it.. You got 6 rings during that time, I don't know why this one bothers you so much 😆

@@johnsolo534 You don't know the pain

Cuz they couldnt beat the giants, its like wanting what you cant have

Lol imagine thinking this was scripted

The ball probably didn’t have the right amount of air in it.

Truly spoiled Patriots fan you are..

this is still the greatest team probably since the 85 Bears. Although this Eagles team is very nasty.

Real patriots fans if they are 30 or older remember the drew bledsoe and Ben Coates teams

Bills in 91 was a great one. It’s close.

It must have been the happiest day in Mercury Morris' life, in the last forty years, watching this ending

Super Bowl XLII is certainly up there in sports history. If we’re looking at all sports (particularly USA sports), I’d voted for the Miracle on Ice. Team USA, led by a driven and inspired coach, took down the greatest hockey empire in the world with a bunch of scrappy, talented and well-conditioned college kids. On top of that, Team USA got demolished by the Soviets 10-3 in an exhibition at Madison Square Garden just a few weeks before the 1980 Olympics. The Soviets had won gold in five of the previous six Olympic Games. They were an unbeatable powerhouse. Making 1980 even more impressive is the fact that the Soviets took home gold in the proceeding Olympics in 1984 and 1988. The Soviet Union also won an absurd 22 IIHF World Championships between 1954 and 1990. So, in other words, they went back to owning the world in hockey until the USSR officially collapsed. The Russian Men’s National Team has had success on the world stage, but not nearly to the degree of the old Soviet empire. Their only gold medal up to this point in 2018 came when they competed as “Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR).”

he shouldn't be close to the HOF though unless he is visiting

​@@laurinnn you still mad !?? 😅😂😅😂😅😂

No doubt. He stamped it with all his game winning clutch drives when it counted in the playoffs and SB.

The giants totally outplayed the pats in this game but they had so many missed opportunities

Stained rings for the Pats

you weren’t in sb 56

@@drilladelphia7560I think they meant SB 46.

You are saying the Pats kicker can’t make a 50-yard field goal?

That Asante Samuel missed INT is the biggest play no one talks about.

As a kid I called it.... He fd up by doin the taunt afterwards... Should've stayed locked in.... #GMen

Last few minutes were great, but the rest of the game no. Bills-Giants was a better game.

No. My Rangers blowing the World Series when they should have had it all wrapped-up in Game 6.

No, Super Bowl III

You didn't win the next 3 or 4 after Seattle. You missed the next SB, then beat the Falcons a year later and lost another SB the following year. You know, there might be a reason why everyone thinks Pats fans are/were arrogant.

What happened to Lawrence Maroney I forgot

Joe Buck kinda made amends for the David Tyree helmet catch with the Eli to Plaxico Burress touchdown call.

I was a fan of the team but I wasn't emotionally invested in them at the time (didn't really follow the NFL hardly at all at the time) and that makes it a little easier (it was also a huge blessing for me at that time). Idk if it would've been right away, but I probably would've bought a championship shirt later on in 2008 had 19-0 happened. Of course, it would depend on what all was still available by that summer or by Christmas 2008. The '08 season was when I started to pay a little more attention to the NFL and become more of a fan. I got a Moss jersey for Christmas that yr. and that was my first piece of Patriots gear I bought. If I was more of a fan at the time and more open about it during 2007, I would've taken an unimaginable amount of heat for not just being a fan but also over the team falling short of 19-0. I was in high school and I was teased and picked on A LOT during my senior year over them (2009 season btw). My hometown is a near 50/50 split between Cowboy fans and Saints fans.

Also as the number one upset since the year 2000
