Super Bowl Recap

The New England Patriots faced off against the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.  An epic rematch of the Super Bowl in 2007, which the Giants won 20-17.  Despite the Patriots being the slight favorites in regards to betting odds, many saw the Giants as the favorite to win the Super Bowl in the much anticipated rematch.  The people were right.  The Giants defeated the Patriots 21-17 on a comeback led by Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning.

The game was close throughout the entire game and came down to the last play.  It was a "hail-mary prayer" thrown from Tom Brady into the endzone in hopes of last-second heroics but as the ball hit the ground the game was over and the Giants once again de-throwned the Patriots for the 2nd time in 4 years.  The Patriots who have the best resume of the decade fell short to Eli Manning and the Giants for the 2nd time.  This putting in question if the Patriots' Dynasty has finally come to an end.  But with 5 Super Bowl Appearances in this decade it is hard to argue that the Dynasty has ended. Eli Manning who was named the Super Bowl MVP was name it for good reason, as he orchestrated the game winning drive in the final minutes of the game to not only give the Giants the lead but take away as much time off the clock from Tom Brady and the Patriots offense and Eli did just that.

Prior to the season, Manning was asked if he felt he was elite.  Manning stated that he was elite and he thought he was a top 5 quarterback.  Manning followed through with not only the best regular season of his career but the best post season of his career.  Manning may have solidified himself in the football Hall-of-Fame with this win but at the very least, he significantly strengthened his resume.

The Super Bowl was also led by a tremendous story.  The Giants Pro-Bowl Defensive Lineman Jason Pierre Paul's Dad was attending the game.  His Dad is completely blind, and in fact it was his first time attending a game his son was playing in because he did not live in the U.S..
The Giants had their parade on Tuesday where many fans came down to cheer on their team.  The Giants got the keys to the city and said they are prepared to win some more rings.
