New England Patriots, New York Giants Heading To The Super Bowl: UPDATE

Lawrence Tynes booted a 31-yard field goal in overtime to give the Giants a 20-17 win Sunday in the NFC title game. (Jan. 23)”

With MANY THANKS To Both AP And YouTube. Watch Video Here:

“The New England Patriots beat the stunned Ravens 23-20 in the American Football Conference championship game Sunday after Baltimore’s Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal attempt with 11 seconds remaining that would have levelled the score.

Brady scored the winning touchdown when he leaped over the vaunted Ravens defence in the fourth quarter.

On his one-yard scoring dive with 11:29 left, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his fire by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a four-yard run.

Next up as the Patriots chase their fourth Super Bowl trophy in Brady and coach Bill Belichick’s tenure in New England is the New York Giants, which beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game later Sunday. The Super Bowl is February 5 in Indianapolis.”
