“Helmet Catch”

Giants’ wide-receiver David Tyree catches football with helmet for first down.

Patriot defender Rodney Harrison attempted to swipe the ball from Giants wide-receiver David Tyree, but Tyree managed to swing his right arm over and hold the football against his helmet for a first down.

NFL Films also named it “The Play of the Decade”.
