After a foolish 12 men on the field penalty by the Giants that gave the Pats a crucial first down inside the 40 of the Giants, it looked like things were setting up nicely for the Pats to go up 14-3 early in the 4th quarter. Game over. But the Giants D didn't let that happen. Why Belichick decided not to kick a 50 yarder is beyond me. That may be the arrogance that his team could pull off a 4th and 13. Not sure why he would think that, watching the first 45 minutes of the game. The Giants won this game. Plain and simple. All credit to them.
I think the biggest play of the game was the Giants RB taking that fumble pack in the pile when clearly the Patriots dude recovered it. Your example was huge as well.
Yeah I think the refs may have botched that one up.....no way he gets that ball back. The lineman recovered it and was on the ground. Great effort by Bradshaw to somehow have the officials believing he recovered it back.
