Currently, Tyree is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. He went to Syracuse and was a 6th round draft pick. He didn't become well-known until his role in Super Bowl XLII.
First he caught a touchdown that put the Giants ahead in the fourth quarter. The Patriots scored after that, so the Giants had one drive to win the game. On 3rd and 5, Giants QB Eli Manning was almost sacked by 2+ Patriot defenders. Somehow he got away from all of them and threw the ball downfield. David Tyree caught the ball with his arm and his helmet, as his other arm was being held by Rodney Harrison.
That was the play of the game, and it has many names such as Helmet Catch, Double Miracle, David and Eliath, The Great Escape, The Great Helmet Escape Catch, etc.
This catch probably saved the game for the Giants, as Manning went on to throw a game-winning touchdown to WR Plaxico Burress, ending the Patriots' perfect season as they were 18-0 at the time. Now they get to be 18-1. Losers.

"What a play by Eli Manning! He eluded three sacks! And what a catch by David Tyree, with 58 seconds to go!"

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton is famous for complaining about his tyres even if his tyres are ok. He mostly says "My tyres are gone" to his race engineer then he sets fastest laps and opens up the gap to other drivers. "Tyres are gone" expression can be used for situations when advantageous side is pretending to be the disadvantageous side.
Let's say England will be playing a football match against San Marino. Obviously, for this match England football team have a massive advantage since they have very talented players. San Marino football team can barely score a goal and they have almost no chance against England. But England football team coach says "It is going to be a very difficult match for us. I think if we score a goal against them we should be celebrating it." In this situation we can say "England football coach's tyres are gone".
