And with that thunderbolt, the New York Giants became NFL champions Sunday night. With the crowd standing and roaring for the entire fourth quarter, they startled the heavily favored Patriots -- and themselves, a bit -- with a 17-14 victory.

Tom Brady bounced a couple of passes, sailed a few more and threw three to the wrong team. Hardly perfect. Hardly mattered, either.
