A very enjoyable game, despite the low score. That, in itself though, shows the head-to-head skillfulness of the teams, in my opinion.
And despite me coming from New England and the Giants being from New York, I'm happy to see the Patriots taken down a notch. It has to happen to the best of them. . .especially when the head coach is so petty he tries to push every small technicality.
There must have been a calculation.
Punt, and they might score again anyway.
Field goal, and you have overtime to figure out a way to score again.
The chance of getting a new first down, and making it those last few yards, must have been better than the chance of making it in overtime.
