GLENDALE -- While the Patriots' first possession didn't last as long as New York's, the end result was better.

While the Giants had to settle for a field goal, the Pats pounded it in from the 1-yard line, Laurence Maroney going in over the right side, giving New England a 7-3 lead three seconds into the second quarter.

The Patriots covered 56 yards in 12 plays, using 5:04.
