It will be the New England Patriots against the New York Giants in the Feb. 5 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
Quarterback Tom Brady’s 1-yard touchdown dive held up after the Baltimore Ravens missed a chance to win, then tie the game in the final seconds, and the New England Patriots took a 23-20 victory in Sunday’s AFC Championship.
With New England leading by 3 points with 11 seconds left, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal attempt and the Patriots escaped with the win.
Two plays earlier, Joe Flacco’s pass to wide receiver Lee Evans in the end zone was stripped by backup cornerback Sterling Moore.
On his touchdown with 11:29 left in the fourth quarter, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his fire by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a 4-yard run.
Brady’s fifth trip to the Super Bowl will equal John Elway’s achievement with Denver.
“We’re going to try to go out and kick some butt in a couple of weeks,” Brady said.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Lawrence Tynes booted the Giants into the Super Bowl again.
Tynes kicked a winning 31-yard field goal in sudden-death overtime and New York beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the NFC championship game tonight to reach its second Super Bowl in five seasons.
Eli Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the Patriots again, just as they did when they won it in 2008.
