An ideal setting on a Sunday night, the 4th Feb, for the Super Bowl XLII saw the titans New England Patriots take on the so called minnows New York Giants at Glendale in Arizona. The amazing defensive tactics of Tom Brady, the most valuable NFL player of this season and the able support provided by the quarterback Eli Manning showcased on of the major upsets seen in the Super Bowl history as the Giants defeated the mighty Patriots by 17 – 14. The Patriots were believed to be an undefeatable side for a long time and this surprising victory for the Giants came after a defeat in the regular season final held on December 29th.

The Giants had nothing to loose in this match and were playing with competitive spirit and a sense of pride as they were not expected to score a win over the Patriots. Bill Belichick, the coach of Patriots who was expecting his team to run over the New York Giants witnessed one of the disastrous collapses of his team. John Mara, the Giants co-owner was a pleased man that night and dedicated the upset victory to the fans that have supported the team all along in moments of triumphs as well as disasters.
