...decent portion of those just there to watch the game because, well, that’s what one does on Super Bowl Sunday. Supporters of both teams exhausted themselves and their vocal chords through the emotional roller coaster that was Super Bowl XLII, and by the fourth quarter even those originally indifferent could not help joining in and screaming at the television screen. At the beginning of the game, fans on opposing sides traded some light verbal insults while enjoying a slice of pizza and a cold beverage. But as it became apparent that what was supposed...

...recovered from hyperventilating, I realized for the first time that an undefeated season was far from inevitable. The zero on the right side of New England’s record had flickered and might do so again. Sure enough, a few weeks later, the Patriots faced a fourth-quarter deficit to the very same Giants team they’ll see again on Sunday. While the record is perfect, the play, especially lately, hasn’t been.Sunday’s rematch between these two teams will be historic regardless of the result: either the Patriots will...
