Super Bowl XLVI

This is it for the NFL until next September, as the New England Patriots do battle with the New York Giants for the title of Super Bowl Champions, from Indianapolis, Indiana. New York "led off" with a safety due to Tom Brady intentionally grounding the ball. The Giants added on with an Eli Manning touchdown pass of 2 yards to Victor Cruz, and Lawrence Tynes added the extra point. New England got on the board with a 29 yard Stephen Gostkowski field goal in the second quarter. The Patriots would lead 10-9 at halftime when Brady found Danny Woodhead in the end zone for a 4 yard touchdown reception, and Gostkowski handled the extra point. New England extended their lead in the third quarter with Brady tossing a 12 yard touchdown pass to Aaron Hernandez, and Gostkowski would make another PAT. New York got some back with Tynes making a 38 yard field goal. Tynes pulled the Giants even closer with a 33 yard field goal. New York made it 21-17 on an Ahmad Bradshaw touchdown run of 6 yards, and they failed the two-point attempt. They held on late to win by this score.
