Who would have thought that the New York Giants would upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Perfection was in the face of the Patriots but shattered before they knew it. They could no longer become the first NFL team to go 19-0 in a season.

If this was a David vs. Goliath matchup, David wore No. 10 for the Giants. Eli Manning secured that status when he lofted a 13-yard touchdown pass to receiver Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left, giving the Giants a 17-14 victory over New England at University of Phoenix Stadium.
