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.

Now someone resurrect John Facenda so he can narrate, “When you play the game of thrones you win or you die.”

San Francisco 49ers

Robert Baratheon = Justin Smith

Robert Baratheon = Justin Smith

How They're Alike: Based on the gut alone, Tony Siragusa would have been an absolute shoe-in for this distinction if he were still active. As it is, Smith gets the honor since he's the remaining player most likely to be wielding a war hammer in battle.

Khal Drogo = Vernon Davis

Khal Drogo = Vernon Davis

How They're Alike: Imposing physical specimens with long hair (albeit formerly in Davis' case) and incredible athletic feats to their name. Drogo never lost a fight, while Davis ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the 2006 NFL combine. Although Drogo seems like too much of an emotionless tough guy to sob like a baby after an accomplishment, as Davis did after his game-winning score vs. the Saints.

Petyr Baelish = Jim Harbaugh

Petyr Baelish = Jim Harbaugh

How They're Alike: No, I am not starting a vicious rumor that Harbaugh owns several brothels. Yet like Lord Baelish (better known as Littlefinger), he has won his share of admirers with a mixture of cunning and willingness to do whatever it takes. Consider it his way of overcoming those with "quick tempers and slow minds" (see Schwartz, Jim).
