Wow. In my opinion, that was both the greatest game, and greatest upset, of any Super Bowl to date. Here's a great column about it, written (ironically) by a Patriots fan.
Here's my game breakdown, done through stats:
2--the number of weeks off before the game. It gave the Giants a chance to re-charge after all their road playoff wins.
23--the number of times Tom Brady was pressured (out of 48 times he dropped back to pass).
5--the number of times Tom Brady was sacked.
274--the number of yards to which New England's high-powered offense was held by the Giants' defense.
9-14, 152--Eli Manning's pass completions, passing attempts, and yardage in the 4th quarter of yesterday's game. Outstanding play under pressure.
97.5 million--the number of people who watched the game on TV. They'll never forget it.
