Super Bowl 2012: Manning clutch as Giants beats Patriots 21-17

http://www.nma.tv/
Eli Manning led the New York Giants to a 4th quarter come-from-behind victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, the second time the Giants have upset the Patriots in the Super Bowl in four years.

In a rematch of 2008's Super Bowl XLII, Giants coach Tom Coughlin beat his friend and former colleague, Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning was named MVP of Super Bowl 46, as he was for Super Bowl 42.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady staked New England to a 10-9 lead at the end of the first half with Super Bowl record-breaking 96-yard touchdown drive. Brady broke Joe Montana's Super Bowl record for consecutive completions and Kurt Warner's record for career Super Bowl passing yards.

But once again Manning was clutch in the fourth quarter. With 3:46 left in the game, the Giants started at their own 12. Manning hit Mario Manningham on a key 38-yard pass and followed that with two more completions to set up Ahmad Bradshaw's game-winning touchdown run.

Super Bowl 2012: Patriots, Giants in rematch of 2008 thriller

http://www.nma.tv/
Super Bowl XLVI pits the New York Giants against the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, when the wild-card Giants stunned the previously undefeated Patriots in one of the biggest upsets in sports history.
The Giants entered Super Bowl XLII as 12-point underdogs against the Patriots, the first team to post a perfect regular-season record since the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
But Eli Manning out-dueled Tom Brady and became the first quarterback to throw two go-ahead touchdowns in the 4th quarter of a Super Bowl.
This year the teams are more evenly matched, with the Patriots opening as 3.5-point favorites. New York has been on a roll, having won six of its last seven regular season and playoff games after starting the season 6-6. New England cruised to a 13-3 regular season record behind quarterback Tom Brady and the second-best passing offense in the NFL.
The Super Bowl is on Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
