I give him almost as many props for being able to bounce off his back up to his knees in a smooth motion as for the catch itself. That is sick.

If that catch happened during a regular season game, it might not even make SportsCenter's top 10. It wasn't close to the best catch ever, it was just the catch that ruined the Patriots perfect season.



Also, I don't know how to do this kind of stuff, but if someone can make that into a .gif so I can put it in my signature, that would be great.

I've made much nicer catches than Tyree's catch. That's just a strong crucial catch, nothing fancy.

That catch happened in Winston-Salem, NC and to let everyone know how "ghetto" that school is at Winston-Salem State take a look in the background and notice the RACETRACK around the field. That stadium hosts Modified races every Saturday night during the summer and football all winter. Sometimes I wonder if the announcers for the races say Here comes car #25, looking to the inside he's at the 40, the 30, the 20 he might score!

Prothro's catch around the defender for a touchdown is better, imo.
I'm also fed up with the common cold but I just hate to say goodbye.

So there are at least 10 plays each day better than David Tyree's catch. Gotcha.

Oh, please, are you guys serious?!?! This is easily the greatest catch ever



Not only is he noticeably smaller then the defender, but he catches it ON the defenders back, does a FLIP, AND holds on to the ball. All of it being done going full speed down the field.

Make sure to watch the replay at 0:40. Siiiiick


It's too bad what happened to that guy. I heard he was one of the fastest wide receivers in NCAA at that time

People come to Washington believing it is the center of power. It was only much later that I learned that Washington is a steering wheel that's not connected to an engine.

I look at the Senators and pray for this country.

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

You're obviously a decent human being if you and I agree on the correct answer to this op, so..I'll let it slide.

Actually, that's probably not true. It would make top 10, but only cuz Eli avoided like 100 defenders. If Eli had all the time in the world and was not rushed and simply threw the ball, I don't think that catch was anything special.

I was coming here to talk about the Prothro catch too. Good to see I'm not the only person who remembers that one...it was unreal watching that live.

Too bad what happened to him, then-coach Mike Shula left him in for the entire game when they were blowing out Florida..and they threw to him deep trying to run up the score and he just completely crushed his ankle...if I remember right.

I thought it was a broken leg all together, but I do remember it being in garbage time.
