Giants Stun the Pats!
The biggest upset in Super Bowl history? Well, it might not have been quite that big (my childhood team, the Baltimore Colts, suffered that fate at the hands of that other New York team) but the New York Giants stunned the undefeated and seemingly destined New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42.
The Pats played well but didn't put these pesky Giants away. So they left just enough wiggle room for some late game heroics by Eli Manning and his receiver corps. First Eli escaped a sack and threw up a prayer, which was just a crazy catch to keep the drive alive. Then he found his bread and butter man, Plaxico Burress, in the end zone for the go ahead TD with only seconds left in the game. Bill Belichick (classless as usual) walked off the field even before the final horn had sounded.
