I was wrong. I was wrong, along with about 90 percent of the sportswriters in this country, when I predicted the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl over the New York Giants. The only thing I can say in my defense is that at least I predicted a relatively close game.

The Giants and Eli Manning were able to silence all doubters to rally in a comeback for the ages. With a 17-14 win the Giants were able to cement one of the greatest upsets in the history of football, if not of all time. An outstanding defense was able to hold down possibly the most lethal offense to 14 points.

The Giants defense was able to not only stop the Patriots from dominating the entire game like expected, but they were able to make the stops when needed. This happened most notably on the final drive of the game. Tom Brady and the Patriots were trying to march down the field to get another Super Bowl win. This time the Patriots were in a little worse situation.

Starting deep in their own territory, the Patriots had to start driving the field late in the game. The Patriots were unable to get one of their signature game-winning drives. Brady tried to throw four straight Hail Marys, but three were incomplete and on another try Brady was sacked.

You've got to hand it to the Giants; they played an excellent game. Manning was given the MVP award because of an excellent passing game, with 255 yards and two touchdowns.

I would call this the best football game I've ever watched. It has definitely shown me that I will never again count out the underdog.
