The big, bad, almighty New England Patriots little song and dance in Super Bowl XLII was just plain bad. Their lack lustre uneventful performance was due to the life, one ounce at a time, being squeezed out of them as the New York Giants defensive team went to work on them. Here is why the Giants rocked the Patriots.

Disaster struck the Patriots in the form of an all-out, pressure-packed swarming defensive attack by the Giants and in the worst possible setting. It was the first time Brady had been sacked as many as five times since the New York Jets did it on Sept. 21, 2003.
They sure did, and left Brady wondering what hit him. Brady simply had no time to find Randy Moss and his other targets on a regular basis against the Giants. He should have known he was in for a long day when he was sacked by Kawika Mitchell and Justin Tuck on consecutive plays midway through the second quarter.

The AFC champions' heralded offensive line allowed a season-high five sacks to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday, failing to give Tom Brady the type of tight protection they had guarded him with all season.
New England had no answer for the Giants' bulldozing defense.
Their inability to protect Brady was a major reason the Patriots' quest for perfection ended with a disappointing, history-making 17-14 loss.
