How is it intense? Didn't they have only one sack in week 17? If they come out furious they will fizzle for the second half. They won't be able to maintain that level of emotion. that is where the pats experience pays dividends as they know how to pace themselves.
I'm betting on one Giants cb or lb having the yips as previously stated.
No, I meant the pressure ON THEM is immense. In other words, they know if they fail to get to brady quickly the game is lost.
