Imperfect Ending

Sunday February 3rd, the stage is set for the top 2 teams of the league to square off in a battle for league supremacy. The 18-0 Patriots came in 12 point favorites, poised to finish off their perfect season. The Giants came in nick-named "Road Warriors" because of their 10 game road winning streak, a NFL record. This game was predicted as a high scoring shootout between the Legendary Tom Brady and the improbable hero Eli Manning. It turned out to be a defensive chess match that lasted for 3 quarters until the game exploded in the final minutes.

In my opinion this was by far the greatest Giants victory in their storied history. Upsetting the perfect Patriots is the greatest ending to a season i could imagine. The catch by David Tyree for 33 yards that set up the game winning touchdown was the most important play of the whole game. It turned the tide on the game for good.
