You might say that Eli Manning now owns Tom Brady (the same now might by said of Tom Coughlin vis-a-viv Bill Belichik). This certainly ranks with the New York Giants' other Super Bowl triumph over the New England Patriots. Hakeem Nicks caught 10 passes for 109 yards while Mario Manningham came up with a super catch during the Giants' game-winning drive.
As for the commercials, I'd give the Hyundai ad with the cheetah the edge over the Bud Light commercial with "Wego" the rescue dog and the two Doritos ads.

GIANTS TOP PATS 21-17 FOR FOURTH SUPER BOWL CROWN; ELI EARNS SECOND MVP AWARD
At Indianapolis:
Quarterback Eli Manning led the New York Giants on an 88-yard drive in the fourth quarter, culminating in Ahmad Bradshaw's uncontested six-yard touchdown run with 57 seconds remaining as the Giants won their fourth Super Bowl championship on Sunday, 21-17 over the New England Patriots. New York now has won as many Super Bowls as the Green Bay Packers (four). Only the Pittsburgh Steelers (six), San Francisco 49ers, and Dallas Cowboys (five apiece) have won more. Eli, who won his second Most Valuable Player award, completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards (including this key completion to Mario Manningham during the game-winning drive seen here in this USA Today photo by Eileen Blass) and a touchdown of two yards in the first quarter to Victor Cruz. It's the second time that the Giants defeated the Patriots in the Super Bowl in the last five years in comeback fashion.
