David Tyree "Helmet Catch"
One of the more iconic Super Bowl moments happened in 2008 when the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots were playing against Eli Manning and the New York Giants. Late in the fourth quarter, Manning was scrambling until he launched a pass deep downfield to David Tyree, who could hang onto the ball while using his helmet. This iconic catch led to a New York game-winning touchdown drive.

Santonio Holmes Sideline Catch
Another historical Super Bowl moment dates back to 2009 when the Arizona Cardinals played against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers were down a score with just under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter until Roethlisberger found star wideout Santonio Holmes, who made a ridiculous sideline touchdown catch that ultimately won them the game.

Malcolm Butler's Interception
One of the monumental defensive stops in Super Bowl history occurred during Super Bowl XLIX in 2015. The Seattle Seahawks were just one yard away from potentially defeating Tom Brady and the Patriots until quarterback Russell Wilson went on to throw an interception to cornerback Malcolm Butler, which sealed the Patriots' fourth Super Bowl win in 15 years.
This play would have become one of the bigger what-ifs in NFL history if the Seahawks had just decided to run the ball instead of passing it. Butler ultimately made a phenomenal play, which ended the game.

Philadelphia Eagles "Philly Special"
One of the more recent historic moments in Super Bowl history happened during Super Bowl LII in 2018 when the New England Patriots faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was fourth and goal with 38 seconds remaining in the first half before quarterback Nick Foles and the Eagles pulled off one of the most impressive play calls in Super Bowl history.
