Tom Brady & Co. Stumped by Giants!

Well, the Super Bowl ended almost 3 hours ago. The Final Score: NY Giants 17, New England Patriots 14. It was one of the best games ever. Tom Brady and his team lost a great game. The Patriots were favored to win by more than 10 points. The spread was not covered, and some Las Vegas gamblers probably lost some money! It was a very even game towards the end, but the Giants pulled off "The Incredible Upset!" This game will go down in history as one of the best Super Bowl games ever! Here's a picture that sums it up:



In the end, the Giants defense was great at the right moments in the game. Super Bowl 42 was almost one of the lowest scoring games ever. Heck, it was the Patriots up 7-3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. In the end, the Giants spoiled the Patriots bid to go undefeated for the full year. History was made tonight in Glendale, Arizona. "The Incredible" did happen, and the giants stunned the world.
