"NFL Replay" will re-air the Giants' 21-17 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. ET.

Here's what else is on tap for Monday:

» Move over, David Tyree. Mario Manningham is the new star in the Giants' latest version of "The Catch."

» Kevin Gilbride's offensive game plan was genius, Bucky Brooks writes, and it was the difference for the Giants.

» While confetti rained from the rafters, the mood of the exhausted and disappointed Patriots was in sharp contrast to the celebrations on the field.

» Miss any of the commercials on Super Sunday? Don't worry. We have you covered with a complete archive.
