I thought it was the wrong decision to let the Giants score the final touchdown, if in fact that's what it was. I think you continue to try to work for every conceivable outcome in your control while playing defense: a stop, a fumble, a pass interception (should the Giants be so foolish to try to run a passing play), a penalty or two to move the Giants back, a fumbled snap on a FG attempt or a block or missed FG). All of those outcomes seem more likely than scoring another touchdown with 57 seconds remaining.

Also thought it was questionable for the Giants not to try to score the touchdown. Again, all sorts of bad things happen if you take the chance on another play or plays -- a fumble, penalties, some other turnover, a missed or blocked FG. Take the six points, leave it to your defense to preserve the win.

Both QBs played equally well as did the rest of the rest of their teams. The difference was that Giants' receivers made the clutch catches for the win; the Pats' didn't.
