Giants played a great game, they had relentless pressure on Brady and Eli didn't screw up very much.
Come on....that turnaround totally hinged on that really lucky play where Eli randomly didn’t get sacked.
Unless he does something even more incredible in the future than he has done in the past, he will be remembered for choking in a Superbowl against a team of scrappy wild card underdogs whom he and his team were highly favored to not only defeat but defeat handily.
None of his Superbowl wins were nearly as memorable as this humiliating defeat. The final plays of this Superbowl will played again and again and again on highlight reels for the foreseeable future. Vinatieri field goals will never have the same emotional resonance as Burress' touchdown.
The only thing that can repair his narrative is to, at some point in the future, engineer a dramatic come-from-behind victory in a Superbowl as the quarterback of an underdog team.
Full disclosure: I am not a Giants fan.
