Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner, resonating more than ever in light of the Gulf War, set the tone. Neither team committed a turnover as the Giants owned the line of scrimmage and set a Super Bowl record for time of possession by controlling the ball for over 40 minutes. Down a point in the waning moments, Jim Kelly drove the Bills to the Giants’ 29-yard line. On the game’s final play, Scott Norwood kicked the ball wide right on a field-goal attempt from 47 yards.
