A closer look at the actual 2012 Superbowl game which the whole of the US was focused on over the weekend with the New York Giants v The New England Patriots taking the centre stage across the nation. They’ve played each other before a couple of years ago and the Giants won. Will history repeat itself?

Scoring summary from Sunday’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and New York Giants. The Giants won 21-17.  The final score looks to be a convincing win but throughout the game the New England Patriots gave the New York Giants a run for their money and by half time the score was very different with Patriots 10 and the Giant’s 9. Things got worse in the third quarter with the Patriot’s pulling ahead on 17 and the Yankee’s stuck on 9 at the beginning but on the tail end of the third quarter the Giants seemed to be coming back and fast with the score Patriots 17 and Giants 15 after 2 goals from Lawrence Tynes at 33 and 38 yards sealing their fate to leave them 2 points behind.

In the fourth and final quarter 4th quarter Ahmad Bradshaw had a 6-yard run to give the New York Giants a touchdown and the final score ended at New York Giant’s 21 and New England Patriots 17. This is a second time win at the Superbowl for the New York Giants where they beat  the same team The New England Patriots 17-14 in 2008
