[post_page_title]Super Bowl XLII (2007-08) [/post_page_title]
Final Score: New York Giants 17 – New England Patriots 14
The Pats had already established themselves as one of the strongest dynasties in NFL history by winning three Super Bowls in short order. None of those championship teams had been glorified quite like this squad, though, which came in to this SB with a perfect 18-0 record. They were the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to have an undefeated season, and the first ever with a full 16-game slate. These Pats were also considered one of the best offensive units of all-time, and it appeared that there was a major mismatch in this clash with Eli Manning and the Giants. After New York’s defense held the high-powered Pats to just 14 points, Manning had a chance to lead his team to victory with around two minutes left. This drive encompassed the infamous David Tyree helmet catch, which helped the Giants move the chains on their way to a shocking 17-14 Super Bowl victory.
