It dared the Bills to run and they did a Thurman Thomas carried 15 times for 135 Yards Only the second Man to gain 100 Yards against the new York defense this year. But it came through when it had to holding Buffalo to just one third Down conversion in eight attempts compared to 9 of 16 for new York. It also kept the Buffalo offence off the Field for two thirds of the game. It was a game that had everything one in which the Lead changed hands four times and almost a fifth. The giants underdog by nearly a touchdown took an Early 3-0 Lead on a 2s-Yard Field goal by Bahr whose 21-Yard-er with 7 21&Quot left provided the winning margin. But Buffalo tied it on Norwood a 23 new Yorkus Leonard Marshall left and Erik Howard celebrate their sack of Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly in super bowl xxv. Yard Field goal then dominated the second Quarter and seemed to be dominating the game taking a 12-3 Lead on a 1-Yard run by Don Smith at the end of an 80-Yard drive and a safety when Bruce Smith sacked Hostetler in the end zone. The game May have turned however in the final 3 39 of the half when the giants drove 87 Yards for a score on Hostetler a 14-Yard pass to Stephen Baker with 25 seconds left in the half.

The Bills came Back scoring on Thomas 31-Yard run but new York ground its Way to Victory using a 73-Yard drive to set up Bahrs winning kick. Then the giants stopped the Bills again and left Buffalo w Ith just 2 09 to move from its own 10 into Field goal Range. It did but not close enough for Norwood who had made just one of five from outside the 40 this season. Now its one of six and the giants Are the a Fly a Champion having avenged each of their three losses this season. They won 16, one More than the Bills. The giants held the Bills without a first Down on buffaloes opening Possession just the fourth time in the last 13 games the Bills had been held without a touchdown on their first Possession. Then the giants did just what they aimed to do control the Ball. They drove 58 Yards in 11 plays and ran 6 15 off the clock to set up Bahrs 28-Yard Field goal for a 3-0 Lead. Buffalo tied it 1 23 later on Norwood a 23-Yard Field goal. The score was set up by a 61-Yard pass from Jim Kelly to James Lofton who caught the Ball after it was tipped into the air by Perry Williams. That put the Ball at the 8, but the Bills stalled at the 5 before settling for Norwood a kick. The Bills then gave the giants a dose of their own Ball control style going 80 Yards in 12 plays to score the games first touchdown on Don Smiths 1-Yard run 2 30 into the Quarter. Andre Reed caught four passes for 44 Yards in the drive As Kelly abandoned the Shotgun formation. The Buffalo defense meanwhile held the giants without a first Down for two straight series. After the Bills punted from Midfield the giants took Over at their own 6. A holding penalty on Oates negated a first Down at the 17, setting up a second and 10 at the the 6. As Hostetler dropped Back to pass he stumbled Over Andersons foot and was sacked by Bruce Smith in the end zone for a safety that made it 12-3. A but after going just about a full Quarter without a first Down the giants suddenly struck. Taking Over with 3 49 left in the half at its own 13, new York went 87 Yards in 10 plays and scored on Hostetler a 14-Yard pass to Baker with 25 seconds left in the half. The drive featured a 17-Yard run by Dave Meggett an 18-Yard run by Anderson and a 22-Yard pass to Mark Ingram before Hostetler found Baker a step ahead of Nate Odomes in the left Corner to narrow the margin to 12-10 at the half. The giants started the second half with another Ball control drive marching 14 plays and 75 for a touchdown on Andersons 1-Yard run. It took More time than any drive in super bowl history.
