Super Bowl XLII will see HISTORY made no matter what happens. One way or another, we will see something extraordinary that will likely never be seen again (at least not in the near future). Here's a brief look at what's on the line, record wise.


The New England Patriots will attempt to win their fourth Super Bowl in six years.

Tom Brady would become the third QB in NFL history to win four Super Bowls.

Bill Belichick would become the second head coach to win four Super Bowls.

The Pats will attempt to be the first team in NFL history to go 19-0. They would be the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

If the Pats win, Donte Stallworth will join his father John Stallworth (Pittsburgh) to be the second father and son combination to win Super Bowls.

NFL referee Mike Carey will be the first black head ref for the Super Bowl.

If the Giants win, Eli Manning will join his brother Peyton Manning (Indianapolis) to be the first brother combination to win the Super Bowl...in consecutive years no less.

If the Giants win, they will be the first team in NFL history to win 11 consecutive road games.


Most tenured players (with at least 8 seasons) in the game NOT to win a Super Bowl:

20 Years: Jeff Feagles, Giants
18 Years: Junior Seau, Patriots
15 Years: Michael Strahan, Giants
13 Years: Kyle Brady, Patriots
12 Years: Amani Toomer, Giants
11 Years: Sam Madison, Giants
10 Years: Randy Moss, Patriots
10 Years: R. W. McQuarters, Giants
9 Years: Russell Davis, Giants
9 Years: Anthony Wright, Giants
8 Years: Plaxico Burress, Giants
8 YearS: Shaun O'Hara, Giants
8 Years: Reuben Droughns, Giants
8 Years: Fred Robbins, Giants



(Interesting stat...Teams scoring 32 points or more are 18-0, teams scoring less than 14 points are 0-17...props to wiki)

One new record early on - just 2 possessions in the first quarter, fewest ever in Super Bowl history.

And now, with a second quarter punt, Jeff Feagles becomes the oldest player ever to participate in a Super Bowl.

Jeff Feagles was ecstatic, during the on-field celebration the FOX camera picked him up telling his kids to 'take it all in.' He's been waiting forever to play in a Super Bowl.
