If you think the 21-17 final score says anything about how the game went, think again. Though it's so conveniently divisible, three touchdowns for the Giants against two touchdowns and a field goal for the Pats, it wasn't so simple.
The game's first score was a safety. 2-0 Giants. The last was a touchdown that the Patriots gave to the Giants in a desperate move to get the ball back into Tom Brady's hands with at least some time on the clock. Ahmad Bradshaw backed into the end zone and sat down with 57 seconds left giving the Giants a four point lead. A missed 2-point conversion would have put the Giant's up by two field goals.
With 57 seconds to go and one timeout left Brady started the Pats up the field, but his miracle came up short. The last Hail Mary was tipped in the end zone but just out of the reach of a diving Rob Gronkowski. Game over. Number Four went into the books for the Giants and Eli Manning was named MVP. The most improbable 9 and 7 Giants won the Super Bowl.
