As Eli Manning Roasts Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes Picks NY Giants’ Super Bowl Win vs Patriots the Greatest Moment in NFL History

In a world where gridiron legends are made, one moment stands tall, casting a long shadow over the field of dreams. It’s a tale of underdogs, a helmet, and a victory that defied the odds. “The one they lost with the, against the Giants when he caught the ball in the helmet”, Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ maestro of the modern game, has hailed the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII triumph over the New England Patriots as the pinnacle of NFL history.

On the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Mahomes highlighted the Giants’ unlikely playoff run and their ultimate win against the Patriots, a team once considered the finest ever assembled. “Giants team was, like, barely made the playoffs. And then they make a, they make a run and they’re huge underdogs and they end up beating probably the best, even though they didn’t win the Super Bowl,” gushed Mahomes to Logan Paul and co.

The Giants’ Super Bowl XLII win is heralded not just for the victory itself, but for the iconic ‘Helmet Catch’ by David Tyree and the game-winning touchdown by Plaxico Burress. The Patriots, who were 12-point favorites and undefeated that season, were bested by the Giants with a final score of 17-14.

Mahomes’ reverence for this game is shared by many, including analysts who point to the Giants’ relentless defense and Eli Manning’s clutch performance. Manning’s MVP-worthy play, culminating in the ‘Helmet Catch’ drive, is often highlighted as a defining moment of his career.

Tom Brady, despite his storied career and numerous accolades, found the Giants to be his kryptonite in Super Bowl XLII. His performance, while commendable with 266 passing yards and a touchdown, was overshadowed by the Giants’ fairytale victory. This game remains a pivotal chapter in the ongoing narrative of Brady’s legacy, setting the stage for Manning’s playful yet pointed roasts in the years to follow.

Eli Manning didn’t want to roast Brady for the third time!

In the high-stakes world of NFL roasts, no one is safe, especially when you’re a legend like Brady. At his Netflix special, Brady found himself on the receiving end of some sharp-tongued humor, but it was Eli Manning’s absence that spoke volumes. Manning, the two-time Super Bowl victor over Brady, delivered a virtual zinger that resonated louder than any in-person barb could.

While the roast featured a star-studded lineup, including the likes of Will Ferrell, it was Manning’s social media quip that stole the show. Ferrell, donning his Ron Burgundy persona, poked fun at Manning’s absence, suggesting that Brady feared his Super Bowl nemesis. “You don’t see Eli Manning here tonight, do you? No. That’s because he’s afraid of Eli Manning. Eli Manning made Tom Brady his b**ch,” Ferrell jested.

Manning, ever the strategist, chose to roast from afar, playfully noting on social media, “I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!” a subtle nod to his Super Bowl triumphs over Brady. The friendly fire between the two NFL icons keeps the memory of their epic showdowns alive.

Even as a coach in the Pro Bowl, Manning couldn’t resist taking a lyrical shot at Brady during a rap battle, boasting, “I’m Eli Manning. I’m nice. Tom Brady’s the GOAT. Sike, I beat him twice.” It’s clear that while their days on the field may be over, the rivalry between Manning and Brady remains as entertaining as ever.
