In another thrilling Super Bowl that literally came down to the very last play before the winner was certain, the NFC Champion New York Giants defeated the AFC Champion New England Patriots 21-17. In a rematch of Super Bowl XLII which also was a nail-biter, the New York Giants once again prevailed. This time taking the lead for good with just under a minute remaining in the 4th quarter.

Knowing that the Giants would try to eat up as much clock as possible and would definitely take the lead either by a field goal or by a touchdown, the New England Patriots took a chance and allowed NY’s Ahmad Bradshaw to score an uncontested touchdown. This gave the Patriots as much time as was left on the clock to try and score a touchdown of their own to win the game.

The kickoff was a touchback and the Patriots took over on their own 20, needing to gain 80 yards in 56 seconds to avoid losing another Super Bowl at the hands of the Giants. It did not look good as the Giants D appeared up to the task and it quickly became a 4th down and 16 yards to go situation. But New England is a tough, talented squad and were not going to go quietly. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed a pass to Deion Branch who gained the first down and got out of bounds to stop the clock.

Brady completed another pass to TE Aaron Hernandez then the Giants were caught with too many men on the field, giving New England 5 free yards.

It was Patriots ball on the 50 with only 9 seconds left. Time to resort to Hail Mary bombs.

Brady tried to cut the field a bit shorter with another pass to Branch but he was out of bounds and it fell incomplete. It all came down to one play.

With the Super Bowl on the line, Brady heaved a Hail Mary to the end zone, a cluster of players lept for the ball, it deflected downward and was not more than 2 feet from TE Rob Gronkowski but it was far enough out of his reach that it fell harmlessly to the turf with time expired, the New York Giants had won their fourth Super Bowl.

This was an exciting game no matter which team you were rooting for as the lead changed hands a few times and it all boiled down to execution of the two-minute offense for both sides. The Giants were able to march down the field and take the lead, the Patriots were not.

With a nail-biting 23-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the New England Patriots became the first team to advance on to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Indiana and the New York Giants needed overtime to defeat the San Francisco 49ers to move on to the Super Bowl.

In a hard fought AFC Championship Game, New England was able to hang on and dodge a few bullets including a broken up but very catchable pass in the end zone and a missed “chippy” field goal by usually reliable Baltimore placekicker Billy Cundiff. Cundiff missed a 32 yard field goal attempt in the waning moments which would have pushed the game to overtime. A heartbreaking loss for the visitors was an euphoric triumph for Tom Brady and the Patriots who are looking to add more hardware to their collection.

Making a repeat of Super Bowl 42, the New York Giants won the NFC Championship in the late game on Sundayl. The Giants caused a turnover on a punt return which led to the game winning overtime field goal by Lawrence Tynes, the second time Tynes has kicked an OT field goal to lead the Giants to the Super Bowl as he did the same in 2008 versus Green Bay.

The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium and you can order Super Bowl tickets now to see these two great franchises battle it out a second time for the NFL Championship.

After beating the Green Bay Packers, 37-20 the New York Giants are headed to San Francisco next Sunday to play for the NFC championship. The Giants are one game away from a second Super Bowl appearance in the past four years.

When the Giants met the San Francisco 49ers in November, during regular season play, they lost 27-20. This was the first of four consecutive losses for the Giants. The Giants are looking at this match-up with the 49ers as a chance to avenge this loss.

“I’m going to go ahead and answer this for you: Do we feel we’re gonna win in San Fran?’’ Tuck said. “Yes, we feel like we’re gonna win in San Fran. Am I guaranteeing a win? No, I’m not.’’

As this will be the 13th conference championship game for the 49ers, the third most of any team, they are going in with quite a bit of experience. This is the fifth conference championship for the New York Giants, who are heading into this game with a 4-0 record for this round.

Both starting quarterbacks were number 1 picks in the NFL draft. Manning was the No. 1 pick in 2004, and Smith was the No. 1 pick in 2005. This will be only the second time in history that two No. 1 overall picks have faced each other in a conference championship.

The winner of this game will play the winner of the AFC Championship in the Super Bowl. The AFC Championship will feature the Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots.

Despite losing five of their last six games, the New York Giants are still in the playoff picture in the NFC.

With a victory over the Jets this Saturday combined with a Dallas loss to Philadelphia, the Giants would regain first place in the NFC East. Given their tie-breaker advantage over the Dallas Cowboys, the team they play in the season finale, the Giants control their own destiny. Should the Giants defeat both the Jets and Cowboys, they will make the playoffs regardless of what Dallas does versus the Eagles.

The New York Jets however are not in such a guaranteed position. While the Giants know exactly what they have to do in order to ensure a berth, the Jets could win both of their final games but still not be a lock for a playoff spot in the AFC.

The Jets would benefit by a loss or two by the Bengals to help New York reach the playoffs. This is from ESPN on the subject:

If the Jets and Bengals both win out to finish 10-6, they’d have to resort to the strength-of-victory tiebreaker. (They’d have the same conference record and same common-opponents record.) The Jets would hold a significant advantage over the Bengals. Based on current records, the Jets’ SOV would be 56-83 (combined records of teams they beat); the Bengals’ SOV would be 51-88, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

But first things first, the Giants and the Jets will play at 1pm this Saturday, a Christmas Eve matchup which is a home game for the Jets at MetLife Stadium.

There’s been a lot of back and forth in the newspapers this week with each team taking verbal jabs at one another but all the talking goes out the window and the game is determined on the field. This is probably the biggest game to be played at MetLife Stadium yet.

After a 17-10 loss to the Eagles, their NFC East divisional rivals, the Giants are on a two-game losing streak and are heading into a Monday night meeting at New Orleans. The Giants are tied with Dallas for the lead in the division but if they don’t improve their running game they could be well on their way to a second-half collapse, which seems to be the norm in recent years. In 2009 the Giants started the season 5-0 and ended 8-8. Last season they opened 6-2 and ended with a 10-6 record, losing two out of the three final games.

The Giants have six games left in the regular season so they need to pull themselves together quickly. However, with their upcoming schedule, it may not be that easy of a task to pull off. After the Monday night meeting with New Orleans (7-3), the Giants return home for a meeting against the undefeated Green Bay Packers (10-0).

“It’s put up or shut up,” Rolle said. “At the end of the day, I am not trying to be sitting at home come the first week of January, watching these other teams that I know are not better than us go on. We’re a great team. We know we’re a great team. We have to go out there and prove it.”

The fans know and the New York Giants know that they are better than the game vs Philadelphia indicates but they’re going to have to really bring it in the closing weeks to hold on to first place and reach the playoffs. I think they can do it, do you? Let us know what you think in the comments below and head over here if you’re looking for New York Giants tickets.

The top five events on SelectATicket.com change from week to week. It is interesting to keep track of what’s hot and what tickets people really want to acquire. The hottest shows for the past week were:

1. Big East Tournament Tickets
2. Roger Waters The Wall Live Tickets
3. New York Giants Tickets
4. NHL Winter Classic Tickets
5. Radio City Christmas Spectacular Tickets

With college basketball underway, fans are making plans for the 2012 Big East Tournament. Roger Waters is back in North America with The Wall Live tour, the NY Giants are fighting to remain in 1st place of the NFC East, the NHL Winter Classic is one of the hottest tickets in the game and of course with Thanksgiving just days away, everyone knows that is followed by the Christmas season and Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets are on every child’s list this year!

As week 11 in the 2011-2012 NFL is now underway following Thursday night’s 17-13 Broncos victory over the Jets, the other New York team is looking to put more distance between themselves and the other teams in their division.

The New York Giants are currently sitting atop the NFC East standings with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. The Dallas Cowboys are in second place with a record of 5-4 and the division is rounded out by Philadelphia and Washington with identical 3-6 records.

The Giants host the Eagles Sunday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Earlier this season, in week 3, the New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 29-16.

Earlier in the day, the Cowboys visit the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys are also looking to add some separation from the pack in the NFC East and turn it into a twp-team race against the Giants.

Philadelphia and Washington are in desperate need of putting together significant winning streaks to save their respective seasons.

The Eagles may be without starting quarterback Michael Vick who suffered broken ribs in last week’s game. The Eagles are being coy up to this about in terms of revealing his availability but reports indicate that practices this week featured backups Vince Young and Mike Kafka preparing for the Giants. It is still unclear which player will get the start but with their season all but on the line, entering this final stretch with a backup as your starter cannot be a great feeling for the Eagles and their fans.

Sunday night’s matchup will be a major influencing factor on the NFC East standings. The Giants need to hold server with Dallas to maintain their lead. If Dallas wins in the afternoon, the Giants need to win at night to maintain their current lead.

There are still some good New York Giants tickets available for Sunday’s game and every home game for the rest of the season.

The New York Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys 33-31 on Sunday night, forcing the Cowboys to lose their regular season home opener. The Giants beat them at the new $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in front of a record breaking crowd of 105,121.

The New York Giants were able to spoil the Cowboys big day by making the plays when they needed to, and by taking advantage of the mistakes made by Dallas.

Three interceptions were thrown by Dallas quarterback, Tony Romo, and one went right into the hand of New York Giants corner back, Kenny Phillips. Dallas also had a total of four turnovers for the Giants to capitalize on.

On the other hand, the Giants were looking pretty good. Eli Manning, New York’s quarterback, completed 25 of 38 attempts, passing for 330 yards. His favorite receiver seemed to be Mario Manningham, who finished with 10 receptions, 150 yards, and a touchdown. A 22-yard touchdown pass was thrown early in the fourth quarter to Steve Smith.

Manning also set up the game winning field goal with an 11 play, 56-yard drive in the final minutes of the game which included two-third down conversions. With no time left in the game, Lawrence Tynes made a 37-yard field goal which left the score at 33-31 in the New York Giants favor.

Lawrence Tynes’ 37-yard field goal with no time left gave the Giants a 33-31 victory and a 2-0 record, with both wins against NFC East foes.
