“Holy s**t that worked” - Steve Spagnuolo breaks down 1 unexpected move that shook Tom Brady’s Patriots in Super Bowl XLII

The name of Tom Brady is synonymous with the Super Bowl. The GOAT is the only player in the history of the NFL to win seven rings. Six of those victories came when he was calling shots with the New England Patriots.

However, winning the big one is not an easy task. Even a legendary quarterback like Brady has faced his fair share of setbacks in the biggest game of the year.

Speaking on the recent edition of the "New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce" podcast, the Chiefs' current defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, opened up about Super Bowl XLII. It saw a clash between the Patriots and the New York Giants.

Spagnuolo was the Giants' defensive coordinator back then. The 65-year-old revealed the special move called 'Coffee House,' which sacked Tom Brady and helped the Giants win the game 17-14:

"Okay. The one we did was, and you guys will know this, so, you know, I like to run overload pressures, right? And typically, the linebacker away from the overload, Jason, would kind of up and then he, yeah, and he’s pulling out. And the minute he pulls out, everybody turns over that way.

"So that particular game, I said, 'Look, the first time we run this, Antonio was supposed to come.' I said, 'Antonio, you don’t go.' As the Mike linebacker, Kavika Mitchell did what we call a 'Coffee House.' He made it look like he was, but he ended up going. And by the time he turned and went, nobody picked him up, and we got a sack out of it."

Spagnuolo added:

"Yeah, exactly. And we did it early enough, I think, where once that happened, and it’s something you would practice for two weeks, right? I think the guys go, 'Holy s**t, that worked. That’s great. We’re on a roll. Let’s do the next thing. Let’s do the next one.' So that helped, that it worked on that particular day. They don’t always work, like I say, but that was one of them.

What happened in the Super Bowl XLII between Tom Brady's Patriots and the Giants?

Many consider this game to be the greatest upset in the history of the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots, without a doubt, were the favourites to win the Lombardi that year. They had a perfect season. Giants, on the other hand, ended their regular season with a record of 10-6.

Tom Brady helped his team get a 14-10 lead in the fourth quarter. With only 2:39 left on the clock, the team kicked into high gear.

David Tyree made the iconic 'helmet catch' that gave the Giants some hope. With only 35 seconds remaining, WR Plaxico Burress made a 13-yard reception and scored the game-winning touchdown.
