David Tyree’s helmet catch ranked among NFL’s top playoff moments in history

The New York Giants have had many a great moment in their 100 seasons in the NFL. They have won eight championships, including four Super Bowls, and have had a front seat to several of the game’s greatest moments.

One of those moments — David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII that helped beat the undefeated New England Patriots — is ranked right up there with some of the top playoff moments in NFL history.

The 33rd Team recently ranked Tyree’s heroics the third-best playoff moment of all time bested only by “The Catch” by 49ers wide receiver Dwight Clark in 1981 and Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler’s game-ending interception in the Super Bowl a few years back against Seattle.
