Super
Bowl XLII was an American football game on February 3, 2008 that
featured the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New York
Giants and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New
England Patriots to decide the National Football League (NFL)
champion for the 2007 season. In one of the largest upsets in
sports history, the wild-card Giants (14–6) won 17–14
over the previously undefeated Patriots (18–1). In doing so,
the Giants became the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl.
They also became the fifth wild card seed from either conference,
the fourth in eleven years, and second in three years, to earn an
NFL championship. The victory marked the franchise's seventh NFL
championship and third Super Bowl win—New York's first title
since Super Bowl XXV in January 1991. The Giants head coach was Tom
Coughlin. The Patriots were coached by Bill Belichick. The slogan
for Super Bowl XLII was "Who Wants It More?" Giants quarterback Eli
Manning, who completed 19 of 34 passes for 255 yards and 2
touchdowns, with 1 interception, was named Super Bowl
MVP.
