IMO, it is the #2 all-decade moment; it led to the winning score, it was not the play that resulted in the winning score.
Adam's kick sailing through the uprights to end Super Bowl 36 is the #1 all-decade moment.
The catch is by far the greatest catch in Super Bowl history.
Probably in the history of the NFL as a matter of fact when you factor in the degree of difficulty (Manning escapes a sure sack, heaves up a prayer and through an incredible feat of athletic skill, the catch is made), the stage on which it played out (the Super Bowl) and the result of the catch (the Giants, 12 point underdogs, went on to win the game and ruin the Patriots perfect season).
All of those things combined make it the greatest catch ever.
The Patriots were going for 19-0. The Rams weren't.
