Feb. 3: New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and Michael Strahan celebrate the Giants' 17-14 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Oh, well, nobody's perfect. Except maybe Eli Manning.
A masterful magician when the stakes were highest, Manning engineered one of the best drives in Super Bowl history Sunday to help the New York Giants squash the New England Patriots' run at history-making perfection with a 17-14 victory.
In a game, and a finish, that showed precisely why the Super Bowl has become America's favorite spectacle, Manning led the Giants 83 yards in just more than two minutes. He capped it with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left, to win what easily could go down as the best Super Bowl ever.
"An unbelievable game and an unbelievable feeling," Manning said.
"The greatest victory in the history of this franchise, without a question," said owner John Mara.
It was a scintillating closing chapter to a crazy week that seemed to have everything: the perfect team; the upstart underdogs; the cover boy quarterback in Tom Brady; the kid brother in Manning.

I see they are referencing the Jets prediction in 69 what happened to Burress prediction ? He was spot on stating that the Patriots wouldnt score 17 points? I didnt watch one play I didnt think the Giants had a chance but the Patriots are like the Cowgirls of the 90's the team people hate for just winning alot, but a least they didnt win the big game
