"It is late at Lucas Oil Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday, and the Giants' locker room is still crowded with players and media and family and excitement and noise and enough energy to light the whole place. Maybe it is an hour since Tom Brady's desperation pass into the end zone has been knocked out of the air, bouncing on the turf before Rob Gronkowski can even make his dive for it.

Archie Manning and Olivia Manning are outside the back door of the locker room, waiting in the hallway and they're with one of their daughters-in-law, Cooper Manning's wife. All of them are talking about the Super Bowl game they have just watched, how similar it is in so many ways to the one the Giants and Patriots played four years ago, mostly similar in the end because Eli Manning had taken his team down the field again, come from behind again, put his team into the end zone in the last minute of the Super Bowl."
