Even more reason for Baltimore to feel awful today - I saw a stat that since the AFC and NFC were created in 1970, this is only the third time (and the first since the early 80s) that a team has won a championship game after losing the turnover count by two or more. So many missed opportunities. And though the missed FG was an awful kick, Baltimore made a real hash of it all round, they rushed to take it when they didn't need to and why didn't they use the last timeout?
As for New York, Manning made some great third down conversions in that game. But those two turnovers really swung it. Anyway, go New York! Never would have seen them getting this far after that abject loss to Washington in December.
And as has been joked about online already with Baltimore's missed FG, the laces weren't out! It's Ray Finkle!
