Manning and the NY Giants are 2008 Super Bowl Champions
Posted by admin under NFL News
The NY Giants ended the New England Patriot’s quest for perfection in one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history at Super Bowl 42.
Eli Manning threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with just 35 seconds left on the clock to give the Giants an amazing 3 point victory. The final score was NY 17 - 14 NE.
The Giants’ win ended the Patriots’ hopes of becoming the first NFL team ever to complete a perfect 19-0 season.
And it also handed the Giants an amazing 11th straight win on the road as they became SB champions for the first time since 1991.
Eli Manning was named MVP, just 12 months after his older brother Peyton picked up the same award. He passed 255 yards and two crucial fourth-quarter scores.
The final score was NY 17 - 14 NE. Well done to the Giants.
