The 1986 season proved to be Lawrence Taylor's best as he led the league with 20.5 sack and was the unanimous choice for MVP that year. LT and the Giants rolled into the Super Bowl after making short-work of San Fran and Washington in the playoffs. Sports Illustrated put him on the cover of the Super Bowl issue and when the game began he didn't disappoint. In the first half LT prevented John Elway from scoring on a rollout. The sack proved to be the key play of the game as it took the air out of Denver's offense as the Giants won 39-20. With a Super Bowl Championship under his belt, this day, January 25, 1987 would prove to be the high point of Lawrence Taylor's Hall of Fame Career. LT has hand written that date "1/25/87" and signed the right side of this game used Giants helmet in white paint.
