Eli Manning and the New York Giants did it
again, beating the New England Patriots with another game-winning drive in the
Super Bowl. Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a six-yard touchdown run with 57 seconds
remaining to lift the Giants to a 21-17 win on Sunday. Manning led the 88-yard
drive to win the game and was named Most Valuable Player, just like he
orchestrated an 83-yard drive to capture the 2008 Super Bowl over the
Patriots, which ended New England's hopes of a perfect season and ended with
Manning winning MVP. With time running down -- and a chance to let it tick off
even further -- Bradshaw nearly sat at the half-yard line before falling back
into the end zone for the touchdown. Tom Brady completed a 19-yard pass to
Deion Branch on 4th-and-16, but a last-second Hail Mary pass fell incomplete
in the end zone, just out of the reach of injured tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Manning finished the game 30-of-40 for 296 yards and a touchdown pass
