Here is a breakdown of the latest great pass and catch from the Giants in Super Bowl 46…
The Giants took possession from their own 12-yard line with 3:46 left in the game and only one timeout. On the first play, in what would end up being one of the key plays of the game, Manning completed a deep pass along the left sideline to receiver Mario Manningham for a 38-yard gain to midfield. Bill Belichick challenged the catch, but call on the field stood and it cost him his team’s first timeout. Two more completions from Manning to Manningham gained another 18 yards. Manning then completed a 14-yard pass to Nicks on the New England 18-yard line at the two minute warning. Two plays later, New England called their second timeout with 1:03 left after Bradshaw’s one-yard run gave New York a 2nd down and goal on the six-yard line.
New England faced the risk that New York would run out the clock before Tynes won the game with an almost-certain short field goal. New England thus allowed Bradshaw to run into the end zone on the next play unobstructed. Bradshaw attempted to pull up and stop on the 1 yard line, but his forward momentum caused him to fall across the goal line.New York then failed a two-point conversion attempt, leaving New England 57 seconds and a timeout.
Brady threw a Hail Mary pass intended for Hernandez in the end zone, but the ball was deflected away and hit the ground just out of the reach of tight end Rob Gronkowski, ending Super Bowl XLVI and giving New York their fourth Super Bowl win in franchise history.
Eli Manning, who completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown, was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time in his career and became the third quarterback in a row to win the award after Aaron Rodgers in Super Bowl XLV and Drew Brees in Super Bowl XLIV. The Giants set a new record for the worst regular season record (9–7, win percentage of 56.3%) by a Super Bowl champion.

Super Bowl XLVI will be the sixth Super Bowl in which the two teams had competed in a previous Super Bowl match up, as the Giants and Patriots had previously met in Super Bowl XLII. Both head coaches (Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick) and both starting quarterbacks (Eli Manning and Tom Brady) return from Super Bowl XLII.
Here is a look at their first match up….
Super Bowl 42 was held on February 3, 2008 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. It was a rematch of the final game of the regular season. The Patriots won that game 38–35 to complete the first perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins team. New England entered Super Bowl XLII as 12-point favorites.The New York Giants came into this game as the NFC Wild Card team winning ten straight games on the road.
I don’t like you, i loathe thee. Yeah you won some super bowls and we haven’t and that’s not what bothers us. Its the egregious pursuit of the I’m better then you because i wear blue persona you have cultivated. Jets fans are a rowdy bunch and while many of us have been born with in the last 5 years please kindly remember that gang green always had a core of loyal fans that survived the horrid attempt Mangini made at recreating Patriot culture and the Chrebet concussed quagmires, On Sundays those who choose greener pastures are fervently disrespected by big blue bigots who rap themselves in there Giant towels and pray to their esteemed owner Wellington Mara every night.
A failure to acknowledge Jet achievements and fan-base arrogance on both sides will always put the two at odds and have resulted in friend against friend, Barbershop owner versus homeless man, and countless bar fights. Behind the slobber knockers, and super Sundays there’s a bigger issue looming. Jets fans don’t feel appreciated and were not gonna take it anymore!!!! Yea we haven’t won a super bowl in a while but why is Jet nation made a mockery of and denied its place in football history as the great AFL NFL integrator’s. Why is the continuous burden of winning the right way put on the backs of Jets fans who are just happy that for one time we have received our place in the shine of Gotham city. Fireman Ed often is vilified for being the teams most ardent supporter, its quite sickening.
Ands as the New York Giants engage in turf warfare and the gang green Jets sit home please remember that next year jets fans will still be around not because we hate the Giants, but because only one thing ever mattered to us when it came to football J E T S! JETS!!!! JETS!!!!! JETS!!!!!!
The casual fan speaks the loudest in sports, always did always will. In New York casual fans are letting there voice be heard. For years the Giants were the football team upon a hill and when they entered the stadium on a Sunday it was a big deal, more so then when the lovable but underwhelming gang green enveloped the 100 yard long playground.

Nowadays twitter is flooded with the words #revisISLAND, and #jetsJETSjets the G Men are still relevant but the Jets still have that endearing feel but now there winners. Even prime time networks are catching on tonight the Jets will be making there second appearance on Sunday night football which is TVs showcase for the most intriguing matchup of the NFL week. During 9/11 who was the team New Yorkers were rooting for against the cowboys, certainly not the G Men. Gangreen still plays the role of little brother, the little brother who is now realizing big brother is not that that big of a deal any more.
