2007 NFL
In 2007, division winners in the AFC were New England in the East, Pittsburgh in the North, Indianapolis in the South, and San Diego in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Jacksonville and Tennessee. In the NFC, it was Dallas in the East, Green Bay in the North, Tampa Bay in the South, and Seattle in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to New York and Washington. In the first round of the AFC Playoffs, it was Jacksonville in a tight one over Pittsburgh 31-29, while San Diego would win a defensive battle over Tennessee 17-6. In the NFC, it was New York upsetting Tampa Bay 24-14, while Seattle would roll over Washington 35-14. In the AFC Divisional Playoffs, it was the Chargers upsetting the Colts 28-24, while the Patriots would take care of the Jaguars 31-20. In the NFC, it was the Giants continuing their Cinderella Story as they upset the top-seeded Cowboys 21-17, while the Packers would have no trouble with the Seahawks 42-20. In the Conference Championship games, it was the Patriots over the Chargers 21-12, while the Giants would do it again with another upset over the Packers 23-20 in overtime, setting up the match-up for Super Bowl XLII. The Giants defeated the Patriots by the score of 17–14. The game was played on February 3, 2008, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The game is regarded as one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports, as well as one of the finest Super Bowl games. The Patriots entered the game as 12-point favorites after becoming the first team to complete a perfect regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins, and the only one since the league expanded to a 16-game regular season schedule in 1978. The Giants, who finished the regular season with a 10–6 record, were seeking to become the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl, and were also looking for their third Super Bowl victory and first since they won Super Bowl XXV seventeen years earlier. This Super Bowl was also a rematch of the final game of the regular season, in which New England won, 38–35. The game is best remembered for the Giants' fourth-quarter game-winning drive. Down 14–10, New York got the ball on their own 17-yard line with 2:39 left and marched 83 yards down the field.  In the drive's most memorable play, David Tyree made a leaping one-handed catch pinning the football with his right hand to the crown of his helmet for a 32-yard gain. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress then scored the winning touchdown on a 13-yard reception with 35 seconds remaining. The game was tight throughout. Only 10 total points were scored in the first three quarters. The Giants consumed a Super Bowl record 9 minutes and 59 seconds on their opening drive, but could only manage a field goal. The Patriots then responded with running back Laurence Maroney's 1-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter. After a scoreless third quarter, the fourth quarter saw a Super Bowl record three lead changes, including New England wide receiver Randy Moss making a 6-yard touchdown reception with 2:42 left to play before New York's game-winning drive. Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who completed 19 of 34 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception, was named Super Bowl MVP. Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, who retired following the victory, had two tackles and one sack. This game was the first since Super Bowl IX (a 16-6 Steelers win over the Vikings) that neither team scored at least 20 points.
