GLENDALE -- The important thing for the Giants is not hat they scored three points on their opening possession, but that they ate up 9:59 on the clock.

When the Giants upset the high-scoring Bills in Super Bowl XXV, the key to the game was that New York had a huge edge in time of possession, controlling the clock for 40:33, much to the frustration of Buffalo's Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed.
