TEAMS: New York Giants, New England Patriots
Associated PressEli Manning was a guest with David Letterman on the "Late Show" on Monday.
I won’t do it. I won’t proclaim Eli better than Peyton. I won’t proclaim Eli better than Brady. We’re getting too carried away with legacies and history, folks.

1. (tie) Tom Brady, Patriots (3)
Can’t believe how a guy can go 15 for 15 with 2 TDs on back-to-back drives in the Super Bowl and have people question whether he has what it takes to win it all. The ...

Patriots backup QB Brian Hoyer: “I don’t know if I’ll ever meet someone as tough as (Brady) is”
There was a scary moment in last night’s Super Bowl XLVI, when QB Tom Brady was crushed by Giants DL Justin Tuck. He got up shaky, and doctors surrounded him.
Quickly, backup Brian Hoyer began to throw. Brady ended up going back in, but he finished 7 for his last 17, and he wasn’t the same.
After the game, I asked Hoyer what those moments were like.

Instant analysis: Giants hold on to beat Patriots, Ravens ask 'What if?'
Matt Vensel, Sports Blitz : A fun game down to the whistle, this one was eerily reminiscent of the last times these teams met in the Super Bowl. Eli Manning -- who said before the season the he was elite and lived up to it -- was so cool down the stretch and the Giants put enough heat on Tom Brady to seal the win.
