The Patriots let him score, they wanted him to score because
then there was plenty of time for them to get a touchdown.
But if the Giants didn't score there, and took their time
about it, they could wind the clock down and win with a field
goal.

I say all it would take is a bad snap and a missed kick and
that strategy wouldn't look so great.
