Ok, so we all know that the last two Super Bowls were equally defined by great catches by the Giants (David Tyree, Mario Manningham) and non-catches by the Patriots (Asante Samuel, Wes Welker).
So this peaked my curiosity of, what was the greatest catch (either in terms of skill, luck, or both) that the Patriots have had in a Super Bowl?
I know, I know, someone might be quick to comeback with...you don't need a great catch if you have a great throw.
I'm just wondering, what do you think was the greatest catch by a Patriot in a Super Bowl?
I'll throw out two candidates......
Terry Glenn's long bomb from Drew Bledsoe on third and short against the Packers.
Ben Coates making a third down reception on an eventual TD drive in which the ball was tipped a few times (once by Leroy Evans of the Packers).
