GIANTS + PATRIOTS SCORE SUPER BOWL RECORD
Sunday's (03Feb08) big American football match-up between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots was the most-watched Super Bowl ever - 97.5 million viewers tuned in to watch underdogs the Giants beat the favourites.
The telecast beat viewing figures for the 1996 final, in which the Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But the 2008 Super Bowl failed to become the biggest American television broadcast ever by almost nine million viewers - that record belongs to the series finale of M*A*S*H, which was seen by 106 million viewers in 1983.
