Ross is hitting like a linebacker in this game.

Entering today, BenJarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled in his 4 NFL seasons despite having 547 rushes, 29 receptions and 1 kickoff return in his career (577 combined touches).

[Stardust]

So who had 9-0 as the 1st quarter score? Nobody? Didn't think so.

[Stardust]

Was that the quickest 1st quarter in SB history?

[Stardust]

Looked like Rob Gronkowski was hopping on his good ankle when blocking there.

[Stardust]

This drive is a good rest for Patriots D. That group was on the field nearly all of the first quarter.

like the Giants line. They are being aggresive.

Pats need 7 not 3

[Stardust]

This is 10th time in a Super Bowl that a team had a lead of 9 pts or more after 1st quarter. Previous 9 teams are 7-2 in the game.

[Stardust]

Patriots settle for a FG. Giants 9, Patriots 3.

[Stardust]

Eli Manning completed all 9 passes in the 1st quarter. It was the most passes completed without an incompletion by any quarterback in the playoffs since his brother Peyton went 11-for-11 in the 1st quarter of the Colts 2007 Divisional Playoffs loss to the Chargers

[Stardust]

9-3... I think this one FEELS much more uneven than it really is. Long game!

[Stardust]

LAST PLAY S.Gostkowski kicks 72 yards from NE 35 to NYG -7. J.Jernigan, Touchback.

With Jason Pierre-Paul’s batted pass on the 3rd down, the Giants have batted down 19 passes this season including playoffs, but 12 batted passes in their last 6 games (including Super Bowl). In the playoffs, the Giants’ 6 batted passes are most among any team in the playoffs(next-highest team with 3).

[Stardust]

Patriots played a full quarter without throwing a pass to either tight end. Short number of plays, but still weird.
