Sydney Sun (ANI) Monday 6th February, 2012

The New York Giants have won their second Super Bowl title in four years and fourth overall after beating the New England Patriots in the final.

The Giant's Eli Manning engineered a nine-play, 88-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes of Super Bowl XLVI for a 21-17 win over the Patriots.

The Giants did not give the ball back to the Patriots until there was 57 seconds remaining, which wasn't enough for Tom Brady to lead a scoring drive of his own.anning's status as a legendary clutch quarterback continued to rise after he inspired Giants to win the Super Bowl title.

He was a proud man after winning the title.

"I'm proud of our team, we fought hard all season and came out strong," The New York Post quoted Manning, as saying.

Manning started the drive with a masterful 38-yard throw to Mario Manningham, who tiptoed the sideline for an equally impressive catch. Manning would hit four more passes on the drive, dinking-and-dunking his way down the field before Bradshaw punched it in. (ANI)
