Patriots -
Giants: Tom Brady and Randy Moss undefeated
The New England Patriots won
38-35 against the New York Giants for a perfect NFL season.
The
New England Patriots are now down on the NFL record books as the
first team to go 16-0 in the regular season. The Pats won the
Saturday's game against the New York Giants 38-35, thanks in
part to Tom Brady, who rallied the team out of 12-point deficit
deep into the third quarter. Many expected one thing from the
Giants - to roll over and take it, including the bookmakers, who
had listed the point spread at -14 points chalk the Pats, and
even the Giants fans, who sold tickets to the New England
supporters and missed one of the best games of the Giants this
season.
The Giants went as far as leading the
Patriots 12 points (28-16) in the third quarter, but as it has
always been with the Pats - the game isn't over until it's over.
Tom Brady rallied the Patriots and Laurence Maroney danced his
way to the end zone for 28-23, then with a 65-yard throw to
Randy Moss New England took control of the game. Brady's 65-yard
bullet was his 50th touchdown pass this season and Randy Moss'
23rd touchdown reception - just like that the Patriots broke two
more records - the 49 TDs of Peyton Manning and the 22 TD
receptions of Jerry Rice. Laurence Maroney was strolling again
in the EZ to extend the Pats' lead to 10 points and Plaxico
Burress closed for the Giants and the final score of 38-35. Now
all that is left for the New England Patriots is to win the
Super Bowl - once again favorite to do so with odds 1/3 at
