It's just another rematch of the 2008 Superbowl.The New England Patriots will be facing the New York Giants in Indianapolis in the 2012 Superbowl.
On the way to the Superbowl the Patriots had to face:
- Denver Broncos (Score: 45-10)
- Baltimore Ravines (Score: 23-20)
They had a difficult road and they were almost beat out by the Ravines. With 20 seconds left, the Patriots were up by 3 points and the Ravines had a chance to go into overtime, but kicker Cundiff missed his field goal and the Patriots won.
As for the New York Giants, they faced:
- Atlanta Falcons (Score: 24-2)
- Green Bay Packers (Score: 37-20)
- San Francisco 49ers (Score: 20-17)
The Giants had a really good season and the only close playoff game was against the 49ers. I think that the Giants and Patriots game will be a close game with lots of ups and downs for each team. I won't be missing a second of it. These two teams deserve to be in the Superbowl and one team will end up on top.

Broncos have an amazing overtime win
At halftime the Broncos were ahead of the Steelers by 11 points. The Steelers hadst very impressive 2nd half and by the end of the 4th quarter the score was tied 23–23. They went into overtime. In regular season games, the first team to score would win. Although, this was not a regular season game, it was a playoff game and the rules for overtime change.
The new rules are as followed:
The new rules are as followed:
- At the end of regulation time, the Referee will immediately toss a coin at the center of the field.
- Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods until a winner is declared.
- Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession.
- Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by the Referee for a palpably unfair act.
Many people would think that both the Broncos and the Steelers would get a chance to win the game, but on the Bronco's 1st possession, Tim Tebow throws a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. He runs it for over 40 yards and runs it into the end zone. This touchdown ends the game because the Broncos scored before the Steelers ever touched the ball. It was an awesome game, but I never thought that it would be over so quickly. The Broncos will advance in the playoffs and will face the New England Patriots next weekend.
