Jackson swore for years that it was simply her top ripping off, but never explained why she was wearing the nipple cover.

Answer: New England Patriots

For the third time in four years, the Patriots won the Super Bowl. This time they beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. All three of their victories were by three points or less. Unlike the previous two Super Bowl victories, Tom Brady wasn't the MVP. Wide Receiver Deion Branch won the award.

Answer: Pittsburgh Steelers

While not playing in the game, Tom Brady performed the coin toss. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in the game. Hines Ward, a wide receiver, was the game's MVP.

Answer: New York Giants

The unbeaten New England Patriots fell to the Giants 17-14. The Giants had already lost to the Patriots 38-35 in the regular season. The Giants finished the season 10-6, and the Patriots 16-0, before the playoff run. Eli Manning was the game's MVP.
The game is remembered not only for the upset, but for the David Tyree's one-handed helmet catch in the fourth quarter.

The drive ended in a touchdown putting the Giants ahead by the final margin.

Pittsburgh scored at least a field goal in each quarter, while Arizona only scored in the second and fourth quarters, posting most of their points in "garbage time" after the game was seemingly out of reach. The Cardinals scored 16 points in the final quarter, drawing within three points as the game came to a close.
