Your Super Bowl champions: the New York Giants
Patriots get the ball at their 26.
Three time-outs and 29 seconds left.
That's forever for Tom Brady.
He throws deep for Welker. Not even close. Cornerback Aaron Ross of the Giants is the closest to the ball.
Second down, 25 seconds: Brady is sacked, thrown down hard at the 16 by Jay Alford. Another rookie.
New England takes its first time out.
Third and 20 at the 16, 19 seconds: Brady throws to Moss, all the way down at the Giants 15.. Corey Webster redeems himself, knocking the ball away.
New England takes its second time out.
Ten seconds. Fourth down, the season, perfection, everything on the line: Brady launches it, for Moss, deep down the left sideline. Incomplete.
The Giants take over at the New England 16.
There's actually time left on the clock but Bill Belichick sprints across the field in congratulations.
It takes some time to re-set everything. And then -- Eli Manning kneels, raises the ball in triumph, Lawrence Tynes hugs Tom Coughlin, the confetti sprays onto the field.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Super Bowl champions: the New York Giants.
