INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom
Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score
to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super
Bowl title.
It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led
New York past New England to ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect
season.
This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who
previously won the big game's MVP award - and they took turns being
brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with
nine consecutive completions. Later, Brady put together a run of 16
completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark.
But in the end, it was Manning who directed the nine-play,
88-yard drive that put New York ahead.
