Giants top Patriots 21-17 to win Super Bowl XLVI

Posted: Updated:

Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super Bowl title.

It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.

This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game's MVP award - and they took turns being brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions.

Later, Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark. But in the end, it was Manning who directed the nine-play, 88-yard drive that put New York ahead.
