Is This the Most Iconic Catch In Super Bowl History?

This Lynn Swann catch happened on this date in 1976.

Most iconic? Is it generational? I know many younger folks will say David Tyree.

I'll take Dwight Clark in 1982

Never mind, that in the NFC Championship game :thumb:

What Super Bowl catch did Dwight Clark have in 1982?

I was expecting the Tyree catch before I opened the thread.

What Super Bowl catch did Dwight Clark have in 1982?

He actually had 4 receptions in the 1982 Super Bowl but I was talking about The Catch, which was the NFC Championship game vs. Dallas.

I knew that. But since this thread asks about Super Bowl catches.......

I bet man of the younger cats are saying "The Super Bowl was played in daylight?"

I've corrected it twice.

David Tyree

Most iconic is probably Swann but Tyree was a better catch, IMO.

I bet you're not alone especially since you weren't born yet when Swann made this one.

This was the best throw and catch I've seen. Tyree play was crazier because Eli almost got sacked and he caught it on his head. This one was pure skill. Fantastic throw and catch. Game winning drive...

Tyree's degree of difficulty is much higher. That's not the debate.

Plus you give Swann the benefit because of the cool music and slo-mo NFL Films.
