Brady, Manning set marks for consecutive completions

Feb 5, 2012

Quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning each set records during Sunday night's Super Bowl XLVI.

Brady broke Joe Montana's record of 13 consecutive completions, hitting 16 straight passes as New England took a 17-9 lead early in the third quarter.

Manning completed his first nine passes of the game to set a Super Bowl record.

They were among the notable moments from Sunday's game.

The Giants got a safely when Brady was flagged for intentional grounding on a long pass from his end zone while being pressured by Justin Tuck. It was the first safety since since Super Bowl XXV, when Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler was sacked by Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills.

New England also tied a Super Bowl record for the longest scoring drive, moving 96 yards on 14 plays just before halftime to take a 10-9 lead.
