Greatest play in Super Bowl history

[sportsfan41]

Is it the play where Eli got out of two defenders grasp, threw the ball up and the Giants' WR came down with it trapped against his helmet?

 

Name the one you think is the greatest ever.

 

they showed the catch about 8 times, and I don't think I've ever seen a better one, especially under that much pressure, factor in Eli's making the play to make "the play: possible, I really don't know how it's not the best over all Super Bowl play ever.

 

Two players that never gave up on each other.

Anyone else notice that NE out numbered the Giants 8-1 in Pro Bowl selections, and that's not including atleast 3-4 guys that were previously pro bowlers for the Patriots that weren't this season.

Dwight Clark's catch in the back of the endzone might be the best, but this one was really nice.

 

 

With all due respect WM, that play isn't even top 10 in my book, and it wasn't in the Super Bowl.

 

 

That play tonight was by far the best I've ever seen.

Too many to choose from but I still like the Lynn Swann jumping over top of the guy to catch the ball.

Super Bowl VII, Dolphin Kicker Garo Yepremian get his field goal blocked then picks up blocked ball and tries to throw a pass that goes backward and is batted around until Washington Redskin Mike Bass graps it in the air and takes it to the house.

I dunno, when you think over all best play, not just best catch, throw, move or run.... I think this may take the cake as THE BEST PLAY.

I agree...the escape, the throw, and then the catch, easily seperates from all the rest...IMO

Exactly, dodging and escaping multiple defenders, wow ELI AMAZING, then to have the ability to make a throw after avoiding a disaster, into triple coverage. Then to make one of not the luckiest but actually heads up best catches ever, as he secured the ball with both hands actually. I just dunno how that PLAY can be beat.:thumb:

Given both the play, and the importance to the game's outcome, I vote this one as best play ever.

Super Bowl X.

 

Lynn Swann makes the catch some 53 yards downfield while falling down over the top of a defending Cowboy.

 

Final Score was 21-17 Pittsburgh.

 

I think last nights ranks right up there with Swanns but I don't know about surpassing because he also caught one in Super Bowl X where he started out in the air seemingly out of bounds and adjusted, caught the ball and got both feet back in bounds. I think he had 4 catches for about 161 yards.

Swann's catch was great...But this was the best "play". Again, the scramble, throw, and catch. Had Eli just droped back and threw the ball we would probably be saying great catch, but the escape makes it the best play ever. IMO

ESPN CLASSIC HURRY UP AND SHOW ME THE GAME AGAIN!!!!!!!!

 

I believe NFL Network is replaying the game on Wednesday night at 8:30.

[JBCousins]

I agree that with the scrammble, the pass, the catch, but more importantly, the time of the game and the importance of the play...it is the new #1. Lynn Swann's is now #2.

That wasn't on a game winning drive was it?
