Video: Eli Manning to David Tyree in Super Bowl miracle
Go here to watch Eli Manning somehow evade the Patriots defense and David Tyree somehow hang on to the ball during the final drive of the Giants' amazing win. (Sorry, video not embeddable.)
Here's how ESPN.com described it:
Manning, however, engineered a terrific drive as time ran down. The signature play: Manning, ducking and spinning, somehow avoided a severe rush and Tyree managed to catch a 33-yard catch -- he initially pinned the ball on his helmet with one hand -- and the Giants had the ball at the Patriots' 24-yard line. With 35 seconds left, Manning hit Burress with a gorgeous 13-yard touchdown pass and the perfect season had congealed, horribly, into the twisted wreckage of a shocking loss.

Just as Lynn Swann's Superbowl catch is remembered as "The Catch" I hope this goes down in history as "The Play"
