New England and Tom Brady worked nearly six minutes off the clock, but were forced to punt.
Taking over at their own 8-yard line, the Patriots have, at the very least, reversed the field position battle by moving the ball into Giants territory, but Brady’s pass on 3rd-and-11 was broken up, allowing the Giants to take over at their own 12-yard line with 3:46 remaining and New England up 17-15 in Super Bowl XLVI.
On the first play of the drive, Eli Manning completed a pass for 38 yards to Mario Manningham (Michigan) to midfield. New England challenged the play but the ruling on the field stood.
