In the end, it was Eli Manning, not Tom Brady, who made the big plays with the game on the line.
Shaun Powell: Can't stop Giants magic
Much of the focus was the Patriots' perfect record coming in to Super Bowl XLII, but it was the Giants using backyard plays and a great gameplan to end that streak, writes Shaun Powell.
Patriots' offensive line can't protect Tom Brady
The Giants' front four, and their reserves, gave a highly respected offensive line fits and was a major factor in the victory.
Giants' pressure defense stops Patriots
Big Blue wasn't scared of sending the house at Tom Brady, and No. 12 on New England did not have a clean jersey by game's end.
Randy Moss only partially effective
The high-profile Patriots' wide receiver did catch a touchdown, but he was relatively quiet in Super Bowl XLII.

Tikki Barber is a self-righteous Primadona and a Loser with a capital L! In fact, the reason why the New York Giants have not won more than one Super Bowl to date is because Tikki was nothing but a menacing distraction to the entire team; showboating for all the attention, spitting out meaningless and damaging opinions in order to get media sound bites for his own selfish endeavors. He didn’t give a damn about his teammates, the Giants Organization or anyone but his own career. We now know he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. He is a disgrace to the entire NFL Organization and what the NFL stands for. I am no longer going to watch any television show he appears on, and in addition I am going to write letters to all the sponsors of the television shows he appears on. Tikki Barber has been exposed: A Loser who doesn’t have any integrity. A logical conclusion suggests that he doesn’t give a damn about anything or anybody but himself! I will not ever believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

Eli did it! Woot! Our man Manning showed the naysayers that he can be a contender even against 3 time Superbowl Champ QB Tom Brady
