This one hurts.





2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the game. The Patriots take the lead and they are about to win their 4th Super Bowl in 7 years. Then everything goes wrong. Brandon Jacobs converts a 4th and 1. Asante Samuel has a game ending interception slip through his hands. Eli Manning avoids being sacked 3 different times on one play, throws the ball down the middle of the field and David Tyree makes a miraculous catch with Rodney Harrison all over him (He caught the damn ball using his helmet!!). And then it's over. Plaxico Burress beats Ellis Hobbs for the game winning touchdown. 2 minutes and 38 seconds away. The Patriots are supposed to win these types of games. Brady is supposed to bring the team back and then the Pats defense is supposed to shut down the other team. What went wrong? The Giants made more plays then the Patriots. The Patriots luck ran out. This time it was the other team getting the lucky bounces. The Patriots made history in the wrong way last night. This one will take a long time to get over.
