Super Bowl XLII: A Great Game!

It's been a day now since Super Bowl XLII ended, and all I got to say is one thing:

What a game!!

Of course, all the hype going in was whether the New England Patriots would complete their perfect undefeated season with another championship. For the last two weeks, the hype was also over not whether the New York Giants would lose, but by how many.

Turns out, as expected, the hype was way overrated. as the Giants knocked off the mighty Patriots, 17-14 in a classic game.

Now, I've seen a few Super Bowls, and I can't remember when the last time the game was actually that, a game. Usually, it's either a blowout or the game is so boring that you'd usually watch just for the commercials. This time, this wasn't the case.

The fourth quarter alone was definitely worth it, as the Pats made a great drive to the end zone, as QB Tom Brady threw a TD pass to WR Randy Moss to take a 14-10 lead with 2:39 remaining. But, then the Giants answered back with a tremendous drive of their own, scoring the winning TD with :35 seconds left in the game. The drive was highlighted by one of the best plays I've ever seen, as Giants QB Eli Manning alluded at least three Patriots defenders, coming within seconds of being sacked as they grabbed at his jersey. Then, Manning had the presence to recover from that near sack as he fired the football at WR David Tyree, who leaped to make an incredible catch, pinning the ball to his helmet as he went to the ground.

A great game, probably the best Super Bowl I've ever seen and one of the best plays ever. Congrats to the Giants, for pulling off the incredible and winning their 3rd Super Bowl title.
