HARBAUGH BROTHERS GO ZERO FOR TWO: PATRIOTS VS. GIANTS IN SUPER BOWL XLVI

The National Football League's two conference championship games took place on Sunday.


American Football Conference:


At Foxborough, Massachusetts:


Quarterback Tom Brady ran one yard for what proved to be the winning touchdown with 11:29 remaining in the fourth quarter as the New England Patriots won their seventh AFC title, their first in four years, 23-20 over the visiting Baltimore Ravens.  Billy Cundiff's 32-yard field goal attempt, which would have tied the contest for the Ravens and sent the game into overtime with eleven seconds left, went wide left.


National Football Conference:


At San Francisco:


Quarterback Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes (six yards to Bear Pascoe and 17 to Mario Manningham) and Lawrence Tynes kicked two field goals, including the game winner 7:54 into overtime, as the New York Giants knocked off the home-standing San Francisco 49ers 20-17 to reach their fifth Super Bowl, their first since knocking off unbeaten New England four years ago.


It's a rematch of Super Bowl XLII from four years ago when the Giants and Patriots get together for Super Bowl XLVI, on Sunday February 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
