From Tom Brady and Joe Montana to the Steel Curtain Pittsburgh Steelers, from the Doomsday defense of the Dallas Cowboys to the Team of the '80s 49ers"
"Who can still see David Tyree pinning Eli Manning's desperation pass against his helmet to make the impossible catch that led to the winning touchdown as the New York Giants, with a victory in Super Bowl XLII, ended New England's bid to become the NFL's first undefeated team since the 1972 Dolphins? Or the Falcons blowing a 28-3 midway through the third quarter in a 34-28 overtime loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI? So many games, so many stars, so many incredible memories."
