After further review, the NFL has decided to declare the New England Patriots as NFL champions despite losing to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. An NFL spokesman expressed sympathy to Giants fans, but clearly pointed out that New England was 18-1 this season and clearly was the better team throughout the regular season and the playoffs. The NFL has also declared that 1979 San Diego Chargers w/Dan Fouts, the 1984 Miami Dolphins w/Dan Marino, and the 1990 Buffalo Bills w/Jim Kelly clearly were the best teams in their respective seasons and rightly should have been declared NFL champions.
