NFL Films Super Bowl XLII Champions (2008)

Two weeks into the 2007 season, the New York Giants looked like a team going nowhere. They were 0-2, the defense had surrendered 80 points and the offense couldn't get out of its own way. Even some of the most loyal fans in New York had already started talking about next year. Nobody, and we mean nobody, was talking about the Super Bowl. "NFL Films Super Bowl XLII Champions" tells the story of what happened next, and it's one of the most improbable runs in football history. Game by game, you'll watch the Giants find their footing, claw their way into the playoffs as a wild card and then win three straight road games, including an overtime thriller in the frozen tundra of Green Bay. That set up a Super Bowl XLII date with the undefeated New England Patriots, a team chasing the first 19-0 season ever. What followed was pure magic: Michael Strahan and a ferocious pass rush harassing Tom Brady all night, Eli Manning escaping a collapsing pocket to find David Tyree for his famous helmet catch, and Plaxico Burress hauling in the winning touchdown with seconds to go. For coach Tom Coughlin and the Giants, it was the franchise's third Super Bowl title and perhaps its greatest achievement. Seasons aren't decided in September, and this team proved it in unforgettable fashion.
