Giants victory came in the last seconds

 

Plaxico Burress caught a pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds left on the clock and gave the Giants the victory on Superbowl XLII, and it seemed odd that Burress’s predictions almost came to a reality as he stated that New York would come up with a 23-17 win over New England, and maybe signs were mixed up, but one of the numbers came to be real, but 17 for the Giants, not the Pats who fell just by 3 points less.

It’s not always that the winner and the loser are remembered alike in a Superbowl, but the defeat that the Patriots suffered yesterday in the hands of a more dominant Giants team is going to stay in the minds of many for years to come.

Tom Brady was left alone by his deffensive teammates and ended up being sacked 5 times, while Eli Manning was playing as outstandingly as his older brother, and now the Manning family can feel proud of having two Superbowl champions in the same number of years.

Eli received the honors of being named the MVP, a title that was more of a reality for Tom Brady than for him, but all that was left for the star quaterback of New England was a quick way out to the locker rooms once the game was over, he surely didn’t felt like being interviewed as he knew it was a dishonor not to win and remain in history as a second class team, something that could have being different if the Patriots had shown their true potential.

But last night it was all about New York and its incredible defense and how they achieved the most important victory in all of the Giant’s history.

With this win, the Giants obtained their 11 straight victory on road games and it really showed, as they were superior to the team that lost the chance of becoming into the best team in NFL history with a record of 18-0.

"I think their intensity from the beginning snap to the end of the game was really higher than ours, we just couldn't meet that intensity." Said Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss.
