So many historic moments were made on that day, but the following are the most notable:
- NY Giants became the FIRST team to win 11 consecutive games on the road.
- FIRST Super Bowl with 4 lead changes between the 2 teams played.
- FIRST time in NFL history for two brothers (Peyton and Eli Manning) to win back to back Super Bowl titles and MVP titles.
- FIRST time in NFL history where a father-son combination to win Super Bowl championships with the same team in the same capacity of linebacker and long snapper. (Steve DeOssie - XXV, Zak DeOssie - XLII).
- FIRST time in in NFL history for a team (Patriots) winning all 16 regular season games and all the playoff games ONLY to lose in the Super Bowl.
