Anderson, aided by <a href="/wiki/Quarterback" title="Quarterback">quarterback</a> rollouts, bootlegs, and play-action fakes. As tight end <a href="/wiki/Mark_Bavaro" title="Mark Bavaro">Mark Bavaro</a> later recalled, "[w]e came out with three tight ends, fat slobs picking you up and moving you and letting you tackle O.J., if you could."<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This enabled them to take time off the clock and limit Buffalo's possessions. The Giants set a Super Bowl record for time of possession with 40 minutes, 33 seconds, including 22 minutes in the second half. On defense, New York wanted to be physical with Buffalo's wideouts, and play with extra defensive backs to concentrate on stopping the Bills passing game, while conceding the running game. </p><p>The contrast in strategies was evident during the first period. After forcing the Bills to punt on the opening drive of the game, the Giants consumed 6:15 off the clock by marching 58 yards in 10 plays to score on a 28-yard field goal from <a href="/wiki/Matt_Bahr" title="Matt Bahr">Matt Bahr</a>. In that drive, New York ran five rushing plays and five passing plays. But the Bills struck right back on their ensuing possession with a five-play, 66-yard drive that took 1:23 off the clock, including a tipped 61-yard completion from quarterback <a href="/wiki/Jim_Kelly" title="Jim Kelly">Jim Kelly</a> to receiver <a href="/wiki/James_Lofton" title="James Lofton">James Lofton</a> that set up <a href="/wiki/Scott_Norwood" title="Scott Norwood">Scott Norwood</a>'s 23-yard field goal to tie the game at 3–3. </p><p>After forcing the Giants to punt on their ensuing possession, the Bills' offensive strategy started to work to perfection. Kelly led the Bills on a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive that consumed 4:27 and moved the ball so effectively that the team never faced a third down. Kelly completed six consecutive passes (four to <a href="/wiki/Andre_Reed" title="Andre Reed">Andre Reed</a>) for 62 yards, and running back <a href="/wiki/Don_Smith_(running_back)" title="Don Smith (running back)">Don Smith</a> capped it off with a one-yard touchdown run to give Buffalo a 10–3 lead. Smith's 1-yard touchdown run was his only carry of the game and the last carry of his career. Reed's 5 first quarter receptions were a Super Bowl record. </p><p>After trading punts, the Giants were pinned at their own 7-yard line. On second down, defensive lineman <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Smith_(defensive_end)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bruce Smith (defensive end)">Bruce Smith</a> sacked quarterback <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Hostetler" title="Jeff Hostetler">Jeff Hostetler</a> in the end zone for a safety, increasing the Bills' lead 12–3. On the play, Smith had a chance to force a fumble since Hostetler was holding the football with only his throwing hand. But to his credit, Hostetler held the ball away from Smith, helping to ensure that only 2 points would be surrendered. </p><p>The Bills started out on their next drive with great field position following the free kick, but were forced to punt after 3 plays. Taking the ball at their own 13-yard line with 3:43 left in the second quarter, the Giants abandoned their long drive strategy and employed a quick strike attack of their own. Hostetler led the Giants 87 yards, scoring on a 14-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Baker_(American_football)" title="Stephen Baker (American football)">Stephen Baker</a> with just 25 seconds left in the half to cut New York's deficit to 12–10. </p><p>The Giants then opened the third quarter and resumed their original game strategy by driving 75 yards in 14 plays to score on <a href="/wiki/Ottis_Anderson" title="Ottis Anderson">Ottis Anderson</a>'s one-yard touchdown run, taking their first lead of the game since their opening possession at 17–12. The drive consumed a Super Bowl record nine minutes and 29 seconds, and included four successful third down conversions. The highlight was a 14-yard pass to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Mark_Ingram_Sr." title="Mark Ingram Sr.">Mark Ingram</a> on 3rd down and 13 yards to go. Ingram caught a short pass and broke five Buffalo tackles to get the first down and keep the drive alive. </p><p>After forcing Buffalo to punt on their ensuing possession, New York drove to the Bills' 35-yard line. But on fourth and two, Smith tackled Anderson for a 2-yard loss. Buffalo then took over and stormed down the field, advancing 63 yards in just four plays and scoring on a 31-yard burst from running back <a href="/wiki/Thurman_Thomas" title="Thurman Thomas">Thurman Thomas</a> on the first play of the fourth quarter, regaining the lead at 19–17. Thomas' fourth-quarter touchdown run marked 1,000 points scored in Super Bowl history (1,001 with the extra point). </p><p>However, before the Bills' defenders had a chance to catch their breath, they found themselves back on the field trying to contain another long Giants drive. This one went for 14 plays and 74 yards, half of which came off passes from Hostetler to tight end <a href="/wiki/Mark_Bavaro" title="Mark Bavaro">Mark Bavaro</a>, and took another 7:32 off the clock. The Bills managed to halt the drive at their own 3-yard line when linebacker <a href="/wiki/Cornelius_Bennett" title="Cornelius Bennett">Cornelius Bennett</a> broke up Hostetler's third down pass, but Bahr kicked his second field goal to give New York a 20–19 lead. </p><p>On the Bills' ensuing possession, they could only advance to their own 41-yard line before having to punt, enabling the Giants to take more time off the clock. The Bills finally forced New York to punt and took the ball at their own 10-yard line with 2:16 remaining. Kelly then led them down the field with a mix of scrambles, short passes, and Thomas runs. Buffalo drove to the Giants' 29-yard line, setting up Norwood for a 47-yard field goal attempt with eight seconds left. However, his <a href="/wiki/Wide_Right_(Buffalo_Bills)" title="Wide Right (Buffalo Bills)">kick barely sailed wide right</a>, sealing New York's victory with 4 seconds left. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Player_stats">Player stats</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1990_Buffalo_Bills_season&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Player stats"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Thurman_Thomas">Thurman Thomas</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1990_Buffalo_Bills_season&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Thurman Thomas"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Thomas led the NFL in total yards from scrimmage for the second consecutive season.
