    Video: Mario Manningham makes crucial sideline catch for Giants’ Super Bowl win

    Manningham makes crucial catch (AP)In the final minutes of the Super Bowl, the New York Giants were pinned on their own 12-yard line, and had to get to the end zone in 3:46. Eli Manning made a quick strike to get into the New England Patriots territory but needed Mario Manningham to execute a perfect sideline catch to make it work.

    Perfect execution is exactly what Manningham did. With Patrick Chung on his back, Manningham not only made the catch, but also had his feet in perfect position for the 38-yard throw to be called a catch. Patriots coach Bill Belichick challenged the call, but the officials confirmed what Manningham already knew. He made that catch.

    The catch set up the Giants score in the final two minutes, and Belichick's challenge burned a New England timeout. Minutes after Manningham made the key play, Tom Brady was not able to get his team to the end zone, and with a 21-17 win, the Giants were again Super Bowl champs.

      I'm not a fan of either team but I thought irt was a great game. We'll be seeing that catch for the next 20 years.

        Not really. The head catch at the end of SB 42 was one for the ages. Not this one.
      • Scott 3 months ago
        We'll be seeing that one for 20 years also. Just like the one that Montana made in the end of the endzone about 30 years ago. Like a couple that Lynn Swan made.

      Patriots fan here! What a catch Manningham made! It was the game winner for sure. I guess the best team won. It was a nail biter right to the end! Good job Giants, and Giants fans!!!
      • Jay B 3 months ago
        At least you admit a good game & defeat. I applaud you for that
        But other Pats fans would just usually say something like this: "The Giants still suck & ELI looks like a 12 year old"

        How immature to make jokes when the better team that wins is not their own.

      The end of the Super Bowl is so depressing. Six months until even the freaking pre-season games.

        It was joyous for me. If the season has to win at least we got to see Brady walking off dejected.
      • Gunny 3 months ago
        I was thinking the same thing as the game wound down - no more football for ages :(
    • Jim  •  Fort Walton Beach, United States  •  3 months ago
      I guess everyone can quit talking about how great Brady is now. It was getting old.
      • G-Money 3 months ago
        He's still a first ballot Hall of Famer so you should probably just get used to it.

      My name is the place where you can meet millionaires, who are searching for their special someone.
      She's a great-looking woman, but the outfit is not good (and nothing like anything Angelina would wear). This leather dress is too baggy and ill-fitting - it looks like something a soccer mom would wear when trying to be sexy. If leather doesn't fit right, it looks like the person is trying too hard. Also, black leather doesn't mean it looks anything like Angelina Jolie's wardrobe. When she wears a leather dress, it's properly fitted.59121134638

      Glad the giants won. Brady wanted to be in control at the end and couldn't get it done. Love it.

      Execution was the difference in this game. Doing the little things. Making catches that were catch able. Not committing a safety. The Giants just executed better.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  3 months ago
      I guess Tom Coughlin might get to keep his job now. I mean all of the ESPN pundits fired Tom many times, at the beginning of the season, mid-season, and even at the end of the season. They even said that Eli was not really a great quarterback, you know like Tom Brrr uhm, Tom Bra.... uhm, Tommmm,.... oh darn, you know the one QB who lost the last two Superbowls that he was in??? (Oh yeah, Superbowl, Superbowl, Superbowl. I said it stupid NFL go ahead and sue me!)
    • Ronnie OG  •  3 months ago
      Mario Manningham should be the MVP just as David Tyree no catch no Super Bowl let give the MVP to the real person who deserve it.
    • Matt F  •  3 months ago
      The better team won. We did not deserve to win period. Good for them - done watching the Pats.
    • Jeffrey Clifton  •  3 months ago
      I think it is Safe to say that The Giants are a force to be reckoned with.
    • *CHIEF HASHER*  •  3 months ago
      Absolutely amazing catch, and a great Super Bowl.
    • ♥Princess♥  •  3 months ago
      I am so glad the giants won. the best team won of course.
    • Tymorial  •  3 months ago
      If Manningham didn't catch that ball then the pats would have won most likely. I love Eli but Mario should have been MVP.
    • John R  •  3 months ago
      Eli proved tonight that he no longer needs to live in his older brothers shadow. Peyton may have better over all stats, but Eli now leads him 2 to 1 in championship rings.
