Is there a way to see a video of Tyree’s helmet catch from a perspective behind Eli? Descriptions say Tyree was wide open but by the time we see him on the broadcast Harrison is all over him. I’d like to see what Eli was seeing once he broke free from the near sack.
Google came up blank.
Good luck and if you find it please post
There are some good angles of it on regular film. Either Harrison was playing zone or thought Eli was going down by sack. He knew Tyree was there, but did not move until after the ball was released.
That may be one of the big remaining question on that play. Why was Tyree given so much space?

For Eli to get a 35 yard throw in there before Harrison could close on him.

As I recall, New England was in a cover-2 and there was a blown coverage on Tyree leaving deep middle of the field wide open but Eli was busy escaping and got the throw out way late.
I was there, that is correct. Tyree settled in to the spot and defenders closed in as the ball was in the air.
