The score would have never been 19-17. The only reason it was 21-17 was because the Giants went for 2 and failed.
Under normal circumstances without the safety the Pats would have led 17-13 and if the Giants had scored a TD it's 20-17. Of course being up 4 the Pats wouldn't have let the Giants score so there would have been no time left anyways. There would have been no last Pats drive, the game would have been won or lost at the Pats goal line. Would have been like a Titans-Rams type finish.
