The NFL, FOX and the New York Giants collaborated on an amazing Sunday event, re-airing Super Bowl XLII in its entirety while offering live in-game reaction from some of the players on the field.
Twitter came alive and although the game wasn’t nearly as exciting because we all knew how it unfolded, it was entertaining enough to break up the monotony of the coronavirus pandemic… If just for a few hours.
Prior to the game, throughout the game and after the game, several former and retired Giants — many watching for the first time ever — offered their take. So did FOX Sports announcer Joe Buck.

Being a young guy on this team. One thing that I was so impressed by was the sideline communication after a series. Coaches and players would have some serious back and forth and both would listen to the other.

Honestly, that 5 years I was in NY, if it was 3rd and 7+ I couldn’t think of a group of guys I’d rather have putting a rush on!!! https://t.co/J68SKkvKlK
