In terms of the poll("Was the Giants win the greatest upset in Super Bowl history?"), I gotta narrowly say no. Nothin tops Broadway Joe and the Jets in Super Bowl III. I just think after that Week 17 nailbiter, the Giants proved they could play and keep pace with the Pats. Ya i know most(including myself) still predicted a Pats win, but we knew the Giants could keep it close.
That Jets shocker was so much bigger because it was in essence a team from a "lesser" league beating the NFL champion Colts. No one, NO ONE thought they could do it. It'd be the equivalent of the Russian Super League champion beating the Stanley Cup champion. Complete shocker.
