Facing the Patriots

Eli’s face dripped with sweat, his palms ready to recieve the hiked football. Shouting out orders he looked over to his left side eyeing the match-up between Paxico Burress and his rival. Before he snapped it Eli, knew who he was going to throw it to.
Stepping back in the pocket he quickly checked to make sure that Plaxico wasn’t covered. Of course he wasn’t, this was Eli’s game, this was the second Manning Superbowl. Eli launched a high tight spiral and the crowd and everyone watching at home went quiet and held their breath.
TOUCHDOWN !
Giants fans and players raised their hands and all those who wished for anything bad to happen to the Patriots exulted. As the clock ran down Bill Belechick, aka the devil Stomped off the field. The pretty boy MVP was reduced to a pile of rubble, and the young scrutinized Manning rose to destroy the “Perfect Season”. Epic, it was epic.
