Patriots 17, Giants 21
A final-seconds Hail Mary pass by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady fails to connect, and the New York Giants win Super Bowl XLVI.
Middletown seems very quiet this winter's evening, as local New England Patriots fans ponder a final score that fell short. Whether you watched from a friend's house, a local restaurant or bar, or your own living room sofa, it was hard to watch time run out for the New England Patriots.
It would have been the fourth Super Bowl win for the Patriots had things gone a little bit differently in Indianapolis tonight.
The New York Giants won the game, just as they had the last time these two teams met in a Super Bowl, four years ago. In 2008, the score was NY 24, NE 17.

However, if you're a Giants fan--and there are more than a few on Aquidneck Island, given Newport's long ties to New York City--you may want to head to the city for the victory parade, scheduled for this Tuesday morning, at 11 a.m., in lower Manhattan, starting on Broadway at Battery Place and continuing up to Chambers Street. See game highlights on the website of the Giants.
