Eli Manning, Giants Thwart Pats Again to Cap Magical Run With 4th Super Bowl Title
Sunday, 05 February 2012 22:34 | Written by The Associated Press |
And now there are two Super Bowl championships and two MVPs to prove it. Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after one-upping Tom Brady and leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Sunday's Super Bowl -- in older brother Peyton's house, at that. "This isn't about one person," Manning insisted. "This is about a team coming together." A team led by a quarterback who months ago claimed -- to snickers throughout the league -- that he belonged in the same stratosphere as Brady, and then proved it.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Elite and Eli. One and the same.
Brandon Marshall Catches Pro Bowl-Record 4 TDs in AFC's Win

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns, and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 on Sunday. "You never know when you're going to be back," Marshall said, "and I wanted to go all out today because it could be my last Pro Bowl." Marshall had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a 3-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel grabs. He was selected the game's MVP, and his name now will join the likes of Walter Payton and Jerry Rice on the MVP banners at Aloha Stadium.
Giants Stun 49ers with OT FG to Set Up Super Rematch with Patriots

And with Lawrence Tynes' foot. Eli Manning directed one short, final drive and Tynes kicked a game-winning 31-yard field goal in overtime, sending the Giants to the Super Bowl with a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game on Sunday. In another tight one in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on another costly mistake by San Francisco. Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis as 3½-point underdogs. The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.
