INDIANAPOLIS _ Superstar quarterbacks Tom Brady of New England and Eli Manning of the New York Giants produced the greatest passing totals this season for any opposing quarterbacks in Super Bowl history.
So when the Patriots and Giants meet tomorrow in Super Bowl 46, the stage is set for an aerial show like no other in NFL championship lore, one that could come down to which team has the ball last with enough time to drive for points.
Manning, who threw for 4933 yards and 29 touchdowns, has been the master of late comebacks this season, in part by necessity as the Giants ranked last in the NFL in rushing and captured five must-win games to reach the Super Bowl.
``It's still us against the world and that's how we play,'' Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. ``We're still the underdogs and we still have an awful lot to prove.''
Brady, who threw for 5235 yards and 39 touchdowns, has been the precision passer, whether to elusive targets like Wes Welker and Deion Branch or tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
