I’m sorry to have to post this, and if i could delete the last 5 pictures I would, but it’s probably the closest look you’ll ever get at the signature moment of the Super Bowl 42. We’re going to have to watch this catch for the rest of NFL eternity so I’m just trying to make peace with it.

I’ve never been a big “blame the refs” guy. We can argue all day whether or not Eli is in the grasp in photo two, when Jarvis Green not only has his jersey but also jumps on his back, while Seymour’s being held. Credit to Eli for staying on his feet and making a play.

Combined with Tyree’s helmet catch this play was a miracle and a miracle is what it took to beat the 2007 Patriots.
