Patriots Outcoached, Outmanned

Hello. Congrats to the New York Giants for winning Super Bowl 42 17-14 against the New England Patriots. Offically, this was the 3rd biggest upset in Super Bowl history, behind the New York Jets of Super Bowl III and the New England Patriots of 2001. However, I don't think too many people thought the Giants had a chance.
How did they win? The Giants outcoached the Patriots, something that would've been unthinkable to believe before. They had a much better plan to stop New England, and their offense was able to move the ball all night.
And New England made a disastrous call. Up 7-3, they had a 4th down on the Giants 31. Instead of kicking a 48-yard field goal in a dome, or just trying to get a first down, they went for the end zone. A 10-3 would've made a big difference.
Of course you can have the best game plans, but the team still has to execute. And the Giants sure did that. Both Giants lines won the battle big time. And Manning's last drive was as good as any drive any Hall of Famer ever did.
Congrats again to the Giants. Great game!

Regards,
Steve
