PrintAfter a hard-fought battle reminiscent of their clash at Super Bowl XLIII four years ago, the New York Giants narrowly defeated the New England Patriots by a score of 21-17 at Super Bowl XLVI tonight (Sun., Feb. 5, 2012) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, to become world champions.
It was an unbelievable game that featured the usual storyline that played out this year in Giants games. They played solid, at times spectacular, football while getting every bounce to go their way.
It's better to be lucky than good. The G-Men were both.
Ahmad Bradshaw fumbled but had it bounce straight to one of his teammates. Hakeem Nicks did the same but got the Patriots were flagged for too many men on the field. Chase Blackburn, a mostly clumsy linebacker was able to beat out Rob Gronkowski downfield on a deep ball thanks to an underthrow from Tom Brady.
It was just that kind of game.
Eli Manning went from a damn good quarterback in his brother Peyton's shadown to a future Hall of Famer and multiple time Super Bowl champion. He also won his second Super Bowl MVP award thanks to a near flawless performance. He was 30/40 for 296 yards and a touchdown on the night. His clutch throw to Mario Manningham down the sideline on the final Giants drive of the game to clinch it will become the stuff of legend, no different than the throw to David Tyree back in 2008.
It was an amazing game between two incredibly talented teams that will go down as one of the better Super Bowl games. And for the second time in four years, the New York Giants have defeated the New England Patriots in the most important game of the season.

:) nice.
Best touchdown ever…. falling on his ass
I was too busy eating a cheese burger out of Roy’s beard to pick fights correctly. Next time, ill listen to The Pride
I will stand as Starr788’s personal bodyguard for the next two weeks. If anyone has a problem with him, they have a problem with me. Expect me to fully uphold my end of this agreement
Like he was trying to drop a deuce in the end zone before falling in it.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Naw. That was just Him Shitting on the Patriots.

it was surreal
seemed he could have stopped himself even as you could see him become conscious of what was happening, but the universe strangely coaxed him to tilt over… should have it in slo-mo while a strange song plays in the background.
You never know what could happen and I think his instincs were right take the guarantee points
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Completely agree
What if they fumbled on the next play? What if they flubbed the snap on the field goal? Points IS Points, and with a touch down, make them beat you with a touchdown.
Definitely didn't have every bounce go their way...
Horrible holding call which killed a drive and a a non-call on a definite pass interference. But that’s okay… lifetime Giants fan here… that was sweet.
I’ll bet Green Bay feels a little better now

what a game, I was cheering the Giants only because of my hate of the Pats since the snow bowl game

When they cleared the field for them to kick the field goal?
After spygate 0 titles, and remember when brady got hurt and the nfl made all these rules that you cant hit the qb. Pats can pat deez nuts
Long live the dragon!!!
