The Most Surprising Super Bowl Wins of the 21st Century — beragampengetahuan – Beragampengetahuan

Down 14-10 with five minutes left in the game, Manning orchestrated one of the most memorable drives in NFL history. No play was more incredible than the “Helmet Catch.”

Manning, on third down, escaped pressure from three defenders and launched the ball downfield to his tight end, David Tyree.

Tyree leapt for the ball and, under pressure from a defender, he somehow managed to pin the ball against the side of his helmet as he fell to the ground, completing the catch.

The Giants scored a touchdown on the drive and held on through the ensuing New England drive to shock the world, winning 17-14.

Super Bowl XLVIII: Seattle Seahawks Beat Denver Broncos (By a Landslide!)

• This was a battle against the best defence in the league (Seattle) and the best offence (Denver)

• Manning threw for NFL records at the time – making Denver the favourites of the season

• Seattle’s win was one of the most memorable in NFL history, with a final score of 43-8

It’s not so much a surprise that Seattle beat Denver at Super Bowl XLVII, but the game was a close one to call.

The previews highlighted a battle between the best defence in the league, Seattle, against the best offence in the league, led by Peyton Manning for Denver.

Indeed, Manning and an explosive Broncos offence set numerous offensive records through the 2013 regular season.

Manning threw for NFL records at the time in passing yards (5,477) and touchdowns (55). Denver was considered the favourite to win, due to just how consistent that offence had been throughout the year.
