IMO the super bowl mvp is the Giants pressure. Their D-line and LBs eliminated the Pats run game for the most part. They kept consistent and effective pressure on the pocket. With no run established and hitting Brady or just making him rush throws.... no long ball, no sustained drives w/ scores... no Pats offense.

At that point their Defense is out on the field so frequently they just get worn down. Kudos to the Giants offense for keeping their cool and patiently waiting for the Pats def to get tired and leave holes for scores and long passes and missed sacks.

I do not watch the Patriots religiously... but another thing was I felt there was nothing 'new' to their packages or def fronts.... Everything was stuff we've seen a dozen times. Am I mistaken in that observation?
