Super Bowl XLVI, played on February 5, 2012, was won by the New York Giants, who defeated the New England Patriots 21 to 17. The game was a rematch for the teams who met in Super Bowl XLII (an upset by the Giants, 17-14, ruining the perfect 18-0 season of the Patriots).
The game was unusual in that the winning Giants touchdown was "allowed" by the Patriots, to save time on the clock for a final attempt to win, which narrowly failed.
