Giants take Super Bowl

Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super Bowl title.

It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect season.

This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game's MVP award - and they took turns being brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions. Later, Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark.

But in the end, it was Manning who directed the nine-play, 88-yard drive that put New York ahead.

Another Super Bowl halftime show -- another controversy.

This time it was over a gesture.

While Madonna was the main act, she took a backseat when guest singer M-I-A extended her middle finger and appeared to swear during the performance.

The Super Bowl is viewed by more than 100-million people.

N-B-C has apologized for the inappropriate gesture which it says a delay system failed to catch in time.

The city is flooded with football fans this weekend as it hosts the Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and New York Giants, with today's kickoff scheduled for 6:30 ET.
