Tom Brady may own seven Super Bowl rings and is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, but the 2007 Giants can sleep soundly knowing that their upset win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII still haunts former NFL QB. 

The Pats had completed the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins and were looking to make history with a perfect 19-0 season, all with the Spygate controversy playing out in the backdrop. 

Instead of the Patriots seizing history, the Giants mounted what is largely considered the biggest upset in the history of professional sports in North America. 

Brady recalled the loss being the toughest Super Bowl loss of his career in the Apple+ docuseries “The Dynasty: New England Patriots.” 

“We were crushed,” Brady said in the latest episode of the series. “I was crushed. My teammates were crushed, coaches were crushed. That was our history-making game. That would have been everything and I remember getting to the bus in Arizona and there was not a sound. It was pitch dark, we were as devastated as you could be. There was no sleep. 

“There was no sleep for a long time.” 

The Kraft Group president Jonathan Kraft described a depressing scene inside the Patriots’ locker room during the episode.

“I’m watching guys throw up and cry on the floor. I’ve never seen that,” Kraft said.

Super Bowl XLII is viewed as one of the best Super Bowl games in history and it was marked by one of the most unbelievable catches in recent memory when David Tyree made a miraculous catch against his helmet late in the game. 

The catch helped set up the game-winning pass later in the drive.

“I was like f–k man, how the f–k did you do that,” an exacerbated Brady said about the catch. “That play, I was looking at it the other day if that ball bounces up we have like five guys there to intercept the ball. It’s a million to one.”

Apple+ releases new episodes of the 10-episode series on Fridays each week.
