First series of downs for both teams: Eli looked mature beyond his years. His line is providing excellent protection. Had to settle for 3 points but at least it was a score. Brady is planted on his first play. Give him credit though. He got rid of the ball safely without giving up a sack or an interception. A defensive blunder on 3rd and 10 gives the Patriots a first and goal at the 1 yard line. Surely the score will be 7 – 3 Patriots after this commercial.
Starting to look a little like a defensive battle...2 3 and outs by the Pats in a row and a couple of sacks on Brady.
Cindy just made an observation: Has anyone else noticed that since the wardrobe malfunction there has only been 50+ year old artists in the half time shows??? :wink:
Tell Cindy she is right! :wink: :wink: So the last time these two teams met the score was 38-35, now it's only 7-3 at halftime. Both teams score on their first possession but none since. Almost time for the 2nd half kickoff in what has been an interesting game so far.
Giants take the lead 10-7 early in the 4th quarter. Can the Patriots do what they have done all year long and get a touchdown when they trail in the 4th? I have to believe they can, but I also think this Giant defense has played their hearts out and played very well. This is a good game.
Looks like New York left too much time on the clock for New England. However, if NE scores a TD here, they may be returning the "time on the clock" favor.
Well the Giants have to make a clutch drive or Brady and the Patriots have done it again. Right now the play that made the most difference is when Manning was almost sacked, broke out and then missed a wide open Burress! Good game but I have to believe the Patriots will hold them off. Both teams have given it their all.
35 seconds is too much time for Brady. Way to go Eli. Breaking clear of that sack could be the game winning play if the defense holds.
Oh my, unbelievable finish, one of the best Super Bowl games ever. Both QB's lead clutch drives but Manning gets the last touchdown and the Giants pull off a major upset. Unreal game.
Congrats to the Giants. If Peyton can't win back to back Super Bowls, at least a Manning can win back to back. Congrats little bro Eli!
