Super Bowl abounds with unsung heroes

But someone can be responsible for making critical plays.

“Nah, it doesn’t really come down to one play, or it shouldn’t,” said Giants middle linebacker Chase Blackburn, who spent half the season unsigned and contemplating a career as a middle school teacher. “Not even if it’s one man taking on somebody and stopping him at the goal line. You can’t say one guy won the game.”

“Sure,” he said, “because it means we won the game.”
