Super Bowl Quarter Score: Patriots and Giants Head for Epic 2nd Half Showdown

The Super Bowl began with the improbable, and from there the Patriots delivered to recover and head into what will be an amazing finish after halftime. 

The score is all you have to see to know what kind of game this has been, As we head into the halftime show, the New England Patriots lead the New York Giants by a halftime score of 10-9. 

If there is any team that could manage a huge comeback, it would be the Patriots, and they certainly showed that with one great drive from Tom Brady. 

Again, this is more about momentum and manner of play than it is about the score. The Giants are far more active, confident and poised. 

The game started with a pass rush that delivered New England a rare safety. It took power and passion to get through an otherwise stout Patriots offensive line. 

We then saw New England get a fumble nixed because they had 12 men on the field. A team that is known for its football IQ and preparation made one of the biggest mental blunders around. 

That is why I am still confident that the Giants rip back the lead in the second half, but it will be far more interesting now than we would have thought. 

Aside from an amazing late drive, the Giants have delivered one big hit after another. Eli Manning is throwing through impossibly tiny windows, giving Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz moments to shine. 

It is quite apparent that the Patriots secondary can't hold the talents of these two amazing athletes. We have also seen Ahmad Bradshaw open the game up with a running game that has widened the field and made New England have to play the pass honestly. Bradshaw finished the first half with 44 yards on the ground, including a 24-yard run. 

Manning has tested this Patriots secondary a couple of times, and it's clear that they have no fear on any corner staving off an eventual highlight-reel touchdown. 

A game that was all G-Men is now a shootout in waiting. The Giants have showed no fear in going deep, and the Patriots are back on track with a textbook drive to end the half. 

Get ready for an instant classic.
