2) Super Bowl XLII – Plaxico Burress snatches perfection away from the Patriots
Super Bowl XLII was supposed to be the coronation of the 2007 New England Patriots being crowned the greatest team of all-time. They had breezed through the regular and post season, and were just one win away from joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to go undefeated during an entire season.
But their opponents, the New York Giants, had other plans in mind and pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history. After hitting David Tyree for the famous “Helmet Catch”, Eli Manning finds Plaxico Burress for a game winning 13 yard touchdown that ended the Patriots perfection hopes.
