We Wanted It More

Guess, the hungrier team would really win, as the New York Giants won over the New England Patriots in today's Superbowl game held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale Arizona.

Am again sure that my cousins cheered and are celebrating their hometown team in the East Coast. Bring out the red wine Patrick!

The victory over the Patriots was an upset win as the Giants broke the unbeaten record of the Patriots throughout the season. The Giants also celebrated their 11th straight victory on the road. They had lost earlier which probably inspired the team harder for its third Super Bowl and sixth NFL title.

The Giants became the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl; four AFC teams have done it. They also are the second team in three years to play nothing but away games and come away with the big prize; Pittsburgh did after the 2005 season.

The Patriots, led by Tom Brady, the league's Most Valuable Player and winner of his first three Super Bowl, had their first unbeaten season in 35 years broken.
