Eli Manning describing David Tyree's helmet catch is the best thing you'll watch all week

While NY Giants fans haven't enjoyed much success in the past decade, they still have a pair of recent Super Bowl victories to brag about for years to come. Everyone remembers the two unlikely championships that Eli Manning brought to the franchise against none other than the great Tom Brady and New England Patriots.

During Super Bowl XLII in 2008, Manning propelled one of the greatest game-winning drives in NFL history. NY crushed New England's dreams of a perfect season with an unexpected comeback. However, none of it would have been possible if not for the "Helmet Catch" made by Giants wideout David Tyree. Even after 16 years, Eli remembered the moment and described the legendary play in a joking manner that only he could do.

NY Giants fans will love how Eli Manning described David Tyree's helmet catch

"It worked out just like Coach Coughlin drew it up. He said, no one blocking at me. Eli, be the great athlete that you are. Run around, break a couple of tackles, and then throw it to Tyree's helmet in the middle of the field surrounded by three or four defensive players. And it worked."

At the Giants 100 event, Manning was one of many former players to speak at the podium about his tenure in East Rutherford. He spoke about the helmet catch in a hilarious fashion, bringing a playful twist to the play that eventually won the Giants a Super Bowl.

He began taking shots at his offensive line, claiming they did a poor job blocking him — and he was absolutely right. If you re-watch the clip, you'll see four-time Pro Bowl OG Chris Snee looking completely lost during the play, letting the Patriots' defensive tackle straight up the middle to have a free crack at the quarterback. It could have been disastrous if not for Eli's improvisation.

Ironically, Manning made one of the greatest sack escapes of all time despite being labeled immobile and a pocket passer for his entire career. That was arguably the most impressive part of the play, especially given the poor job done by the offensive line.

For a play that is remembered as one of the most improbable in Super Bowl history, he made it seem as though evading the sack and throwing it up for grabs was how Tom Coughlin drew it up for the team. Classic Eli.
