Super Bowl XLVI will be an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New York Giants to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2011 season.
It will be the 42nd annual championship game of the modern-era NFL and is scheduled to be played Sunday, February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kickoff time is scheduled for approximately 6:30 p.m. EST.
If the Giants need reminders, they have a few at their disposal.
Toting an oversized stuffed animal into town was Indianapolis native James Brewer, an Arlington High School graduate who played at Indiana. The furry brown bear is officially the possession of Kareem McKenzie, the Giants starting right tackle, who was handed control of it after the run to Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Ariz.
Because the bear was there in victory, he's here, too.
"Little Bear," right guard Chris Snee called him.
The location of the Giants' hotel also is a reminder of the job at hand.
Whereas the Patriots are staying about a mile away at University Place on the IUPUI campus, Super Bowl hoopla abounds in every direction around the Giants' Marriott hotel.
Across the street is the indoor playground of the Super Bowl fans, the overflowing NFL Experience. Lucas Oil Stadium, where a large crowd will gather today for Media Day, is a simple three-block walk. Bars and restaurants -- and the football fans that pack them -- are closer yet.
Players from previous Super Bowls have found tempting distractions, but Manning and other Giants veterans have preached the road they insist they will follow.
"Your job is to understand the circumstances and that you're to go forth as a pro," Coughlin said.
Said Mathias Kiwanuka, a linebacker from Indianapolis: "We'll have plenty of opportunity to come back (and visit). We have to make sure everybody's focused."
Leadership on this team comes from many sources. Fifteen players competed in the 2008 Super Bowl. Others, like Kiwanuka, were part of that team but inactive because of injuries. Safety Antrel Rolle was a member of Arizona's 2009 Super Bowl team.
Coughlin said such experience is invaluable. "What we have is a nucleus of guys who can relate to the younger players, who can talk to them now and have been talking to them for the last week," he said. "(It's) about how to conduct themselves in this environment, how to know exactly what's coming."
It's pressure as well as opportunity, and it isn't afforded often. Manning knows.
"You try to keep your mind focused on the job and what style of football it's going to take to win this game," he said. "If you get concerned with other things, it takes your focus off what your job has to be for this coming Sunday."
Coughlin has coached for 16 NFL seasons with the Jaguars and Giants, and his teams have won seven division titles. These Giants won their final two games this season to capture the NFC East crown, then stayed hot in the playoffs and beat the fifth-seeded Atlanta Falcons, top-seeded Green Bay Packers and second-seeded San Francisco 49ers to get to Indianapolis.
Giants players heard Coughlin lecture them all season about finishing -- finishing plays and finishing games properly. Now they'll try to finish their season in style.
"There's 1,800 guys in the league, and at the beginning of the season this is everybody's goal," said Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka. "This is everybody's ultimate goal, not just to be in this game, but to get the win."
Chris Snee, the Giants' offensive lineman who also is Coughlin's son-in-law, estimated that he heard Coughlin use the word "finish" roughly 10 times per day throughout the season. That is likely to remain the Giants' theme for Super Bowl week.
"We're here," Snee said. "What's the point of coming here if you're not going to finish the mission?"
The flawed Giants ranked last in the league in rushing offense and 29th in pass defense during the regular season, and often had to rely heavily on the passing of quarterback Eli Manning to obscure those deficiencies. But the Giants found a way to win, crafting five regular season victories with fourth-quarter comebacks. The running game and defense improved during the NFC playoffs, and New York arrives at the Super Bowl playing at a level that makes a win over the Patriots seem far from impossible.
