The Greatest Catch

One Baltimore Raven who will be remembered forever in these parts is WR David Tyree. He made the iconic "helmet" catch while playing for the Giants against the Pats in the waning moments of super Bowl XLII. It was a crucial catch on 3rd and 5 and kept the winning drive alive. He made the catch with Rodney Harrison draped all over him.

The NFL considers it to be such a highlight that they use it in a promotional commercial for the NFL Network. It's often considered one of the all-time pass receptions.

Since that day, Tyree suffered a serious knee injury during his 2008 season with the Giants. He was released by them prior to the start of this season and was signed by the Ravens on October 13.

No Pats fan will ever forget that catch!
