with threats of all kinds of things if they didn't lose cause it was like all of a sudden they were playing with their hands in their pockets up through third quarter they were on fire
And I'm not even a real football fan
Usually just watch my team in the last couple of years

They have now won 5 Super bowls in 15 years, and lost 2 in the same time (Go Giants!).

They weren't there because they are some fluke, or because they cave when trailing.
