SUPERBOWL XLII

Well they did it, the New York Football Giants proved everyone wrong and came out victorious in Superbowl XLII. What a way to shock the world, beating the almost perfect 18-1 New England Patriots; a team that absolutely dominated the regular season and the playoffs with their star quarter back Tom Brady, arguably the best quarterback of all time, and their unstoppable offense. they have been scoring touchdown after touchdown in every game. When Plaxico Burress of the NYG predicted a 23 to 17 NYG victory, Tom Brady only could laugh at the fact that he thought the Pats would only score 17 points. But I think Burress knew this was a possibility because of his team's outstanding defense. The New York Giants all season have been known for their explosive pass rush and defensive line, they have been putting extreme pressure on every quarterback in the league. Thanks to people like Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan, offensive linemen ahve been fearing the Giants all year. And in Superbowl XLII, the Ginats' defensive line did exactly what they were doing all season. They gave Tom Brady a serious challenge and sacked him a few times as well. The Pats were only able to score two touchdowns for a total of 14 points. Meanwhile, the giants offense got help from an unusual wide receiver David Tyree. He came up with a touchdowna dn a play that saved the game for the giants late in the 4th quarter, with an amazing catch using his helmet to gain possession of the ball. There was less than a minute on the time clcok, and Eli Manning came up big and moved the ball down the feild just in time, giving the winning touchdown pass to his elad receiver Plaxico Burress to make a final score of 17-14 in favor of the New York Giants. This was the greatest football game I have ever seen and I am so happy ffor the Giants. They deserved to win the championship, all of their players came out and played with the heart of a champion in tht game. They stopped an almost perfect New England Patriot team in their tracks righ before the finish line and went down in history. Congratulations to the New York Giants franchise and hope they come up big next season as well.
