The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Giants WR Mario Manningham said that he's not sure where he will play in 2012. Manningham is an impending free agent this offseason after helping the Giants win Super Bowl XLVI. "I don't know where I'm going to end up," he said. "I'm not really thinking about that right now. All I'm thinking about is winning this game." He finished the Super Bowl with five catches for 73 yards on nine targets, and his 38-yard catch in the fourth quarter helped set up the Giants for the game-winning score.

Giants TE Jake Ballard tore his meniscus against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. It is not known if he'll need surgery, but he was on crutches during the Giants' on-field celebration following their win. He had 10 yards on two catches before getting hurt, walking off the field, and then hurting himself further while testing his knee on the sideline. He also suffered a torn PCL late in the regular season and needed surgery. "The Super Bowl (victory) is good medicine for the injury," Ballard said.

I was in no pain at all.’’ Gronkowski said he would continue to get treatment on his ankle but denied he needed surgery.

It’s really a one-and-done thing. That was probably the most special thing about it, you only get one shot to accomplish this feat.”

Patriots WR Wes Welker continued his underwhelming postseason in the Super Bowl as he had just 60 yards receiving on seven catches against the Giants. He would have had more had he caught a fly pattern late in the fourth that might have helped clinch the win for the Pats, but he dropped it, which is a rarity for him. After the game, the free-agent-to-be lamented over the drop but quarterback Tom Brady stood up for him. "Wes was running down the field and it looked like they messed the coverage up a little bit and I threw it to him," Brady said. "[Welker] went up to try and make it, as he always does, and we just couldn't connect. He's a hell of a player. I'll keep throwing the ball to him for as long as I possibly can. He's a phenomenal player and teammate and I love that guy."

It was his first touchdown catch of the postseason -- and 10th overall this season -- for Cruz, who was targeted four times by Manning.

With fellow TE Rob Gronkowski limited with an ankle injury, the Patriots needed Aaron Hernandez to step up in the Super Bowl. Hernandez did his piece for the most part, as he led the team with eight catches and 67 yards and a third-quarter touchdown that put the team up by two scores. However he did have a costly drop on the final drive of the game, as the Patriots tried to come back from four-point deficit. They would wind up losing 21-17, as a Hail Mary attempt in the final seconds intended for Hernandez was batted down in the end zone.

He would finish the game with just 18 yards on seven carries, doing most of his damage through the air with four catches for 42 yards and the score as the Patriots fell 21-17 in the Super Bowl.

Patriots RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis led his team in rushing in the Super Bowl; of course, given that his team features Tom Brady and one of the most prolific passing games in the league, it led to a predictably run-of-the-mill final line, as he received just 10 carries for 44 yards while adding two receptions for 15 yards in the game. The Patriots would wind up losing the game 21-17 after a late-game comeback by the Giants.

It was the second time this postseason Manning did not top 300 passing yards as he completed 75 percent of his attempts en route to claiming MVP honors for his effort. Manning, who did not throw an interception, hit WR Victor Cruz on a 2-yard touchdown pass during the first quarter for the game’s first score.

For the second time in as many Super Bowl appearances, Patriots QB Tom Brady was overshadowed by Giants QB Eli Manning's late-game heroics. Manning led his team on a go-ahead touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, however he left just enough time for Brady to try to lead his team downfield. With 57 seconds remaining and his team needing a touchdown to win, Brady had Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch drop early first-down passes that could have given them the momentum they needed to come from behind. In the end, Brady was forced to attempt a 51-yard Hail Mary pass as time ran out, which was almost brought in by Rob Gronkowski. Unfortunately, the ball was batted down and Brady would lose his second Super Bowl in five trips. He finished the game with 276 yards passing and two touchdowns, though he did throw a fourth-quarter interception in Giants territory that could cost the Patriots a shot at valuable insurance points.

Patriots WR Deion Branch didn’t have a big game in the Super Bowl, however he did leave his mark on the game – in a negative way. While he did bring in three catches for 45 yards, including one on the final drive, his biggest play game on the first play of the final drive. With the Patriots down 21-17 with less than a minute remaining, he dropped a first-down down pass from Tom Brady that would have started off the drive with momentum. While he did manage to atone for it with his later 19-yard reception on a fourth down, the first drop set the tone for the drive, as they failed to score when needing a touchdown to win. The Patriots wound up losing the game 21-17.

But I’m very honored to receive the award.”
