Plaxico Burress is auctioning the football he caught for the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLII, which led the New York Giants to a 17-14 victory over the undefeated New England Patriots. This historic ball, estimated to sell for $100,000-$200,000, has been in Burress’ possession for 18 years and was not switched out by referees during the game. Following his Super Bowl success, Burress faced legal troubles, serving 20 months in prison, but returned to the NFL in 2011 with the Jets. Before the Giants, he had notable seasons with the Steelers, including two 1,000-yard campaigns.
