Bowl: versus It's style ypeir - The PASADENA, Calif. (AP) New York Giants are the Sherman tank of the NFL. The Denver Broncos are the Ferrari. The Giants' patron saint could be Rambo. The Broncos' would be Merlin. In the interview swirl of Super Bowl weeks, the Giants are more likely to scowl, the Broncos to smile. "We don't fool around," Giants tackle Karl Nelson said. "Our style is not flashy. We show you what we are going to do and we go out and try to do it. "That's the way Bill Parcells is as a coach and he has gotten those type of people to surround him."

"They say, 'We're coming straight at you. No detours.' You have to be ready to deal with that. When we're done with this game, we'll know we've been in a fight." The Broncos say they are any Giants, who built their 16-- 2 record and winning streak on a ferocious defense and a attack led by running back Joe Morris. New York's streak 6 includes a victory over the Broncos at Giants Stadium and a 66-margin in two playoff games. ning Broncos have gained the reputation of a team that will try any trick to win. "We have gimmick plays," Reeves said. "We put in a few plays every week.
