And when it comes to Super Bowls, it's tough to beat what just happened this past Sunday on the sport's grandest stage.
After a juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse set up a first-and-goal for the Seattle Seahawks, Malcolm Butler chose the right time for his first career interception and picked off Russell Wilson in the end zone to clinch Super Bowl XLIX for the New England Patriots.
The finish already shot up all-time lists, including NFL Network's, which recently placed it ahead of two New York Giants title games and into the No. 1 spot.
Here is a look at the network's top 10 Super Bowl finishes of all time:
