For the New England Patriots it was simple — win one more game and complete the greatest season in the history of the NFL. For the N.Y. Giants, the task was gargantuan — beat the undefeated Patriots and shock the world. In arguably one of the greatest Super Bowl upsets of all-time, game MVP Eli Manning and the N.Y. Giants did shock the world, coming from behind to beat the unbeatable New England Patriots 17-14 in Super Bowl XLII. In this SBXLII Review episode, BPR NFL analyst Lloyd Vance and I run through the vitals of the Giants victory.

To see The N.Y. Giants pull that upset will echo in my mind as one of my most favorite Superbowl memories of all time. I think the next best Superbowl will have to be Peyton vs. Peyton!
