Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what team's stadium was Super Bowl XLVI played?

Answer: Indianapolis Colts

The game was played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN, home of the NFL's Colts. The Giants and Patriots were the teams that played.
The Cowboys hosted 2011's Super Bowl in icy conditions.

2. The Patriots won the coin toss.

Answer: True

The Patriots won the coin toss by calling "Heads" and deferred their kickoff to the second half.

3. How did the first points get scored in the game?

Answer: Safety

Tom Brady was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone with 8:52 left in the first quarter, giving the Giants the lead 2-0.

4. How many points were scored in the first half?

Answer: 19

After the Giants scored the first nine, all in the first quarter, the Patriots came back with ten of their own. Theirs were all in the second quarter.

5. Who was the main performer in the halftime show?

Answer: Madonna

It was confirmed by the NFL on December 4, 2011, that Madonna would be performing at the halftime show. Cirque Du Soleil also performed.

6. What was the score at halftime?

Answer: Patriots 10-9

In a very even game in the first half, the Patriots took a 10-9 lead into the locker room, after Danny Woodhead scored on a Tom Brady pass with eight seconds left in the first half.

7. How many yards did the Giants have from scrimmage?

Answer: 396

Eli Manning had 296 of the Giants' total 396 yards in the air, going 30 of 40 with no interceptions and only one touchdown.

8. Who won the Super Bowl MVP award?

Answer: Eli Manning

While Manningham's catch late in the fourth quarter was a key play, he was not selected as game MVP. Eli Manning won the Super Bowl MVP for the second time. The first was in Super Bowl XLII four years earlier (the same teams were on the field), which was won by the Giants 17-14.

9. Who sang the National Anthem?

Answer: Kelly Clarkson

While all four have done the National Anthem before a game, the 2012 designee was Kelly Clarkson, who was the first "American Idol" winner. Aguilera did the National Anthem in Arlington, Texas, for Super Bowl XLV.

10. Which team won the game?

Answer: G

The New York Giants are NFL Champions, defeating the New England Patriots again, by the score 21-17. Mario Manningham's catch from the NY 12 yard line to midfield was the key play, similar to Eli's throw to David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII.
