Davidg:
NE was out of timeouts (or maybe had 1 left). I think the Giants could have waited, kicked a field goal, and left NE with just a few seconds on the clock.
In fact, that was their strategy (but the guy accidentally scored). NE strategy was to let the guy score.
Anyway, what a great game and a great end to the game...and this thread, I'd say!!!
