With all the talk here at Giantsist.com about tonight's Super Bowl XLVI game between the Giants and the New England Patriots, it's easy to lose focus of just how incredible Super Bowl XLII was—who could have guessed that an incredible David Tyree helmet catch would become the symbol for the team's unlikely upset victory over the Pats?
Up till then, the undefeated Pats were a team of destiny seemingly on their way to immortality. These may not be the same teams on the field tonight, but that doesn't mean roller skating pirate Bill Belichick and his Pats aren't out for revenge. So before we all log off our computers to binge on buffalo wings and blue cheese, you can watch video of that catch above, as well as the complete last Giants drive of the game below.
