What are giants going to call the tyree catch? The 49ers have ‘the catch’, the steelers the immaculate reception. This is as big a play and I think deserves it’s proper place in NFL history.
The only thing I can think to compare it to is Garo Yepremian's pass attempt in Superbowl VII, but of course that was an example of bathos, not heroics. Still, it's the only thing which seems to match the level of physical outrageousness.
But what will thy call it? I dunno, "The helmet catch" ?
Just call it "Up Yours Bellicheat"!
I tell you what... Tyree earned his money last night. If he never got noticed much before, he sure got some attention now. His agent probably still hasn’t quit smiling.
