Giants Prevent "19-0"


Giants fans have absolutely everything to be proud about. The New York Giants are superbowl champions.They defeated the 18-0 New England Patriots, in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. Instead of the perfect patriots going down in history, the amazing turn around of the Giants will be a story talked about for decades. The Gants began the season 0-2, and had their fans doubting that they would even make the playoffs. Their great running back Tiki Barber retired and their coach seemed to loose control of the team. Later in the season their talented tight end Jeremy Shockey broke his leg. The Giants barely made the playoffs as a wild card team. Everyone including most Giant fans felt that Eli Manning would not be able to lead them past the first round. However, this was when Eli Manning and the Giants developed as a great team that played with great pride. They won 3 straight road games against division winners Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay going into the superbowl. They then outplayed and dominated the game against the undefeated Patriots. This was one of the greatest superbowls ever played. Eli Manning played the game of his life and won Superbowl MVP. This superbowl will be remembered for a while, and so is the story of the 2007 NY Giants. I am a Jets fan, however, I must say congrats to the NY Giants for a superbowl well earned.
