4:22Now PlayingNew York Post sportswriter Steve Serby counts down his top five plays in the history of the sport's biggest game of the season.
5. Manning to Manningham
4. Malcolm Butler interception
3. Julian Edelman catch
Julian Edelman won last year's Super Bowl MVP, but his greatest moment on the biggest stage came two years earlier. Fighting back from a 28-3 deficit to the Falcons, the Patriots still trailed by eight and had the ball on their own 36-yard line with 2:28 remaining. On the potential game-tying drive, Tom Brady's pass was nearly intercepted by Robert Alford, and deflected in the air, prompting Edelman to stop his route, and dive backwards — along with three other Atlanta defenders — before scooping the ball off a Falcons player's hand and leg, and collecting it just before hitting the ground. New England would soon complete the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history in the first-ever overtime.
2. James Harrison interception return
Despite being understandably overshadowed by the incredible game-winning touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes, James Harrison's 100-yard interception return for a touchdown to end the first half of Super Bowl 43 was the game's most important play. Arizona trailed 10-7 with 18 seconds remaining in the half, but had first-and-goal from the two-yard line. With Pittsburgh blitzing, Kurt Warner rushed his thrown and was picked off by Harrison, who weaved through and overpowered would-be tacklers — five Cardinals made contact with him — and did a tightrope run up the sideline, until getting brought down as he crossed the opposite goal-line with no time remaining. A potential 14-10 Cardinals lead had swung to a 17-7 Steelers advantage at halftime.
1. David Tyree helmet catch
The Giants were two downs from falling short of their first Super Bowl win in 17 years. The Patriots were 1:15 away from completing a perfect season. Then, a miracle changed Super Bowl 42 — and history. After improbably freeing himself from the grasps of multiple New England defenders, Eli Manning heaved the ball downfield and connected with David Tyree, who pressed the ball against his helmet and somehow held onto the ball — inches from touching the ground — while Rodney Harrison dragged him down after a gain of 32 yards. Four plays later, Manning found Plaxico Burress for the game-winning touchdown pass, cementing the all-time upset.
