Go Giants! we are not NY Giants fans, but since our Carolina Panthers didn't make it to the Super Bowl, we don't have a choice, but to pull for NFC's NY Giants! Go Eli!
Giants 17 : Patriots 14!
Referee Alex & Mommy R watching football:
The first three quarters of Super Bowl XLII were largely a defensive battle as the teams scored only 10 total points, with the Patriots leading 7–3 entering into the final period. New York finally scored their first touchdown with 11:10 left in the game to take a 10–7 lead. New England eventually responded with a touchdown of their own to take a 14-10 lead with 2:39 left. Then came perhaps the most enduring play of the game: Faced with third down from their own 44-yard line with 1:15 remaining, Giants Quarterback Eli Manning avoided heavy pressure by the New England pass rushers and managed to throw a pass on the run to wide receiver David Tyree who made a leaping catch to complete a 32-yard completion. Four plays later, New York wide receiver Plaxico Burress caught the winning touchdown with less than a minute left.[13] Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who threw both touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, was named the Most Valuable Player.[1]
