Controversial call keeps Patriots perfect

In what FOX sports calls the best game of the year, the Giants fall one point short of undefeated Patriots.  With a chance to go up eight points on the Giants, Brady was picked off by McBride at the one-yard line with five minutes to go.  Eli and the Giants drive down the field to the New England five-yard line with a chance for the win.  On first and goal Manning throws to Beckham in the end zone for a touchdown, but wait each scoring play is reviewed.  After review the officials rule the catch incomplete and said, "The receiver did not complete the catch."  Beckham had two feet down with possession of the ball in the end zone, but had it knocked away by last years Super Bowl hero, Malcolm Butler.  After an incompletion and a sack, the Giants were forced to kick a field goal with 1:47 left to play.  Brady got the ball back and on the first play threw it deep down field and Landon Collins dropped the ball for an easy game-winning interception.  Instead Brady completes a fourth down pass to Danny Amendola, and sets up Stephen Gotskowski for a potential game-winning 54-yard field goal.  Gotskowski made the field goal with one second left to beat the Giants 27-26, and keeps the Patriots season perfect.
