INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York’s fourth Super Bowl title.
It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots’ bid for a perfect season.
This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game’s MVP award — and they took turns being brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions. Later, Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark.
But in the end, it was Manning who directed the nine-play, 88-yard drive that put New York ahead.

VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — A four-alarm fire that engulfed a vacant warehouse at a one-time Navy shipyard is under control after sending up plumes of smoke visible across the San Francisco Bay area.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the fire erupted around 10 a.m. Sunday on Mare Island near Vallejo.
Vallejo Fire Department Chief Paige Meyer said firefighters had tamed the blaze by 12:30 p.m. No one was injured.
Meyer says firefighters will monitor the smoldering ruin to make sure the fire does not re-ignite.
The 150,000-square-foot wooden structure at the defunct Mare Island Naval Shipyard was scheduled to be demolished sometime in the next year.
The Vallejo Fire Department says homeless people sometimes stayed in the warehouse and a campfire may have started the blaze, though no cause has been determined.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some unknown kids with superpowers have nudged out the world’s most famous teen wizard at the weekend box office.
“Chronicle,” with a cast of unknowns as youths who gain telekinetic abilities, debuted as the No. 1 movie with $22 million.
Sunday studio estimates put “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe’s ghost story “The Woman in Black” just behind with a $21 million opening.
Both movies packed in solid teen and early-20s crowds, Hollywood’s bread-and-butter demographic that had been giving movies a pass during a box-office slump late last year.
Hollywood finished the first month of 2012 with strong revenues that are running well ahead of last year’s lackluster receipts.
The previous weekend’s top movie, Liam Neeson’s “The Grey,” slipped to No. 3 with $9.5 million.
