The key is both teams are in each other head now.
The Giants believe that they own the numbers of the Pats becasue the One up there is looking after them and it will always take a Tyree catch or something in that nature to beat NE. Scoreing a TD within the last two minutes of the game for the Giants seemed, at the heat of the moment was not only predisposed but also a necessity.
On the other hand the Pats seemed always played out of their own or even scared against these Giants. The interception by TB near the end zone was apparently a result of too much adrenaline, or hyperventilation or whatever you name it since he just doestn't throw that type of picks.
