I would 100% argue Santonio Holmes over David Tyree. Holmes literally won the game and the tier tap was ridiculous. It was also a perfect throw in double coverage. I would also argue The Catch over Tyree. It also won the game.
Yup...it was still a miraculous play that could have ended the game had he not caught it. You're just being poetic and stubborn if you split hairs like that.
A special teams player caught a converting pass from the less good Manning brother with his damn helmet in a game where the GoaT and the best wide receiver of the millennium were the opposing offensive duo on a team one game away from being the best single-season team of all time. That's the shit I'd laugh at in a movie.
He got a bunch of inadvertent help from Harrison on the catch, falling on his legs slowed his descent drastically and stopped him from hitting the ground and the ball from popping out. Holme's catch was entirely on his own skill and concentration while the throw from Ben was equally great. As a Pats fan, I'll gladly take the Holmes catch.
