When Underdogs Shocked the World: The Most Jaw-Dropping Super Bowl Upsets Ever
Still, there was foreshadowing in the final weekend of the regular season, when the Patriots had to escape Giants Stadium with a 38-35 win to complete their perfect regular season.
The Patriots led by only 7-3 after three quarters, but the lead changed hands three times in the fourth. After Brady connected on a 6-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss to make it 14-10 with 2:42 left, Giants quarterback Eli Manning directed a 12-play, 83-yard drive for the game-winning score.
Wide receiver David Tyree made an iconic, 32-yard catch by pinning the ball between his right hand and the crown of his helmet before Manning capped the drive with a 13-yard TD pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left.
