Giants upend Pats in Super Bowl stunner One perfect spiral and it was over for the New England Patriots. Forever, fans would remember who lost this Super Bowl, as much as who won. Eli Manning looked every bit like his older brother, throwing that beautiful fade route. Plaxico Burress backed up his brazen prediction, catching the 13-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds left. And with that thunderbolt, the New York Giants became NFL champions Sunday night. With the crowd standing and roaring for the entire fourth quarter, they startled the heavily favored Patriots -- and themselves, a bit -- with a 17-14 victory. Patriots go for 4th title -- and history This one is for history. No longer can the New England Patriots ignore it. Beat the New York Giants on Sunday and it means more than winning a fourth Super Bowl in seven years. More than reaffirming their dynasty in a sport designed to even the playing field. Patriots first to 18-0; Super Bowl bound Tom Brady bounced a couple of passes, sailed a few more and threw three to the wrong team. Hardly perfect. Hardly mattered, either. The New England Patriots still were too good for the banged-up San Diego Chargers. A far-from-vintage 21-12 victory Sunday in the AFC championship game sent the Brady Bunch back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven seasons.

Two weeks after announcing Taylor won't practice with the team through training camp, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Wednesday he told the six-time Pro Bowl defensive end that he and the organization want him back.
