The miraculous return of an All-Pro receiver on the opposite side might’ve made for an unforgettable story, but as Super Bowl XXXIX’s box scores attest, there was more than one receiver with history on his mind on Feb. 6, 2005. Unguardable enough to earn both Most Valuable Player Award honors, and the Super Bowl’s then-single-game record for receptions, Deion Branch offered must-see snags throughout the evening, headlined by one interception-saving, acrobatic grab that ultimately encouraged a double-digit lead. In what eventually became a 24-21 triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles, the ever-reliable Branch produced a true one-of-one game under the bright lights, turning 11 snags into 133 yards.
