Once again another Superbowl Champion has been crowned and once again there was 1 memorable play that put one team in position to capture the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the game.

This year that play was made by Mario Manningham as he made a miraculous catch down the sideline on a pass from Eli Manning. The catch could not have come at a better time for the Giants as they were facing 3rd and long, down late in the 4th quarter. This catch set up the G-Men for the eventual game winning score en route to their second Superbowl victory over the Patriots in the past 4 years.

Watching this great catch live made me think of 2 other amazing Superbowl catches that had a direct result in their team's victory. It can be argued that these 3 plays are the greatest ever in Superbowl history.

In the dying moments of Superbowl XXXXIII Santonio Holmes pulled in a perfectly placed passed from Ben Roethlisburger as he tight roped the sideline to secure the game for the Steelers and the MVP award for himself.

One year earlier David Tyree and Eli Manning set the world on fire as they connected for miracle like pitch and catch on the final drive of the Giants Superbowl XXXXII victory.
