Fans across the world held their breath as Tom Brady heaved a bomb from midfield that would determine the fate of Super Bowl XLVI.

The ball hung in the air for what seemed like an eternity and landed right on top of a mass full of blue and white jerseys.

Rob Gronkowski's outstretched fingertips couldn't keep the ball from touching the turf, and the Giants emerged victorious once more.

The Giants win 21-17 and upset the Patriots in the Super Bowl for a second time.

It was an incredible finish to yet another tight-knit Super Bowl. With this hail mary, the comparisons between Brady and Joe Montana have quieted to a dull roar, and Eli Manning's Hall of Fame résumé just got a lot more impressive.

The Giants' young core of talent has a serious shot at becoming the next team of the decade and though the Patriots came within inches of hoisting the Lombardi trophy, they've been fed another painful loss and failed to avenge the defeat that ruined their shot at perfection four years ago.

The Patriots obviously didn't want their game to come down to a hail mary heave, but a remarkable catch by Mario Manningham kept a drive alive for the Giants that allowed them to punch in the go-ahead touchdown.

Brady falls just short and Bill Belichick will need to go back to the drawing board. It's a disappointing finish for the Patriots and a magical ending that will put another ring on Eli's hand.
