Definitely not best ever. Maybe in 20 years we'll look back and call it the best ever, but now there are too many "classics" that take the cake. Rams/Patriots, Jets/Colts, Broncos/Packers, Giants/Bills those are all better IMO. This would probably be top 5 or 6 though.

And I, Bruno, will dive 1,000 feet into a block of cement. On my head, yet!

I would have to say this was the greatest I have ever seen. If it wasn't for the way it ended, probably not. But that was a spectacular drive(specifically the pass to Tyree) by Eli to win it.

Just be glad you don't live here: Technical Issue Leaves Thousands Without Super Bowl - Local News Story - KHBS Ft. Smith Thousands of football fans in northwest Arkansas missed the first half of Super Bowl XLII because of a technical issue at a local television station.
According to the KFTA-TV Web site, Super Bowl coverage on FOX 24 went off the air at about 3 p.m. Hundreds of viewers called 40/29 News with questions and comments about the outage.
KHBS/KHOG is an ABC affiliate.
A signal was restored at halftime, but it left football fans disappointed that they missed the first half of New York's 17-14 win over New England.
"You're looking at the Super Bowl game, the one game all year that pretty much every American watches, and what am I doing? i'm going to the Internet to check the score online," said Tim Fryer. | |

The Bengals-Niners in 88-89 was a good one too (although I was rooting for the Bengals). It probably ranks up there, but not a clear cut best.

Cyclone
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
