Not much of a fan, but I couldn't live with the pats winning in Indianapolis. Its bad enough Peyton will be leaving, but a rival winning the big one in our house would be too much to bear.
But it was the best finish ever for a Super Bowl. It beats the Titains Rams game.

Originally posted by gambit3This was a strategic decision (a good one, of course), akin to an intentional walk. I can't possibly imagine it's against the rules. The Packers also let the Broncos score at the end of the 1998 Super Bowl to leave time on the clock in a similar situation.
I wonder if the NFL will fine N E for not competing when they let the Giants score the winning score. There is a rule against not competing. They fined the Buccaneers when they let a team score.
