The Patriots will be receiving the kick-off in the second half (that means that they will be playing Offense first).Comment

So what we want to see is for them to score another touchdown and start to stretch their lead.Comment

OK then. Lets see what the Giants' Offense can do.
Not enough during the first half. Lets hope that it stays that way.Comment

Oooh, some controversy.
The Giants had too many people on the field, the Patriots noticed, challenged, won, and get the ball in a good position.Comment

The Patriots have gone for it on 4th and 13. Why not take the field goal?
And the throw to the Endzone lands nowhereComment

I'll explain.
In the NFL, the team playing Offense gets 4 chances to move the ball forward 10 yards. So 4th and 13 means that you are on your last chance and still need 13 yards to go, if you don't get the 13 then the opposition get to take over on that spot.
So normally on 4th down you either kick the ball as far into the opposite direction that you can (called a punt), or kick a field goal if you are close enough.
The only time that you ever go for it on 4th down is if you are behind, without much time left, and the only way to recover will be to score the 7 points that you get with a touchdown.
It is generally considered too risky to do any other time.
As the Patriots have just found out to their cost.Comment
