What a defensive line. Five sacks of Brady and many, many hits and knockdowns. The Patriots did not lose this one. The Giants won it. How about David Tyree. The former special teams player showed that he can make great catches too. Now he has one of the top five catches in Super Bowl history. And Manning avoiding the sack and throwing a strike to Tyree. How sweet it is. The secondary came up big too. How far they have come. And Justin Tuck showed why the Giants tied him up for six years.
No denying that Eli has passion and talent. He has that championship character of playing his best when the game is on the line. The only reason the giants did not do more in the first half was due to receivers dropping balls again. They finally changed that in the second half. But Eli was on the money all through the game. Has he ever arrived.
And let's give the great coach Couglin his due. All he has ever done is to develop winners. He changed a little and got his players to buy into his philosophy.
I was surprised the Giants were not able to run better. At the same time Bradshaw had some amazing moments when he carried about three guys for extra yardage.
The Giants were clearly the better team. World Champions.
