i remember when watching this is as a kid, I'm a patriots fan, and i was so excited that we were gonna play the Giants in the Super Bowl because i knew we had it in the bag. Boy was i wrong.
This was one of the greatest runs in NFL history. The Giants, a wild card team, had to win 3 games on the road to get to the Super Bowl, then they beat an undefeated Patriots team. Remarkable.
On the road. Playing 3 teams that had byes, including both 1's. In the reg season NYG went a combined 0-4 against their playoff opponents. They then beat an 18-0 team, making the pkay off the century in the process. Everyone is going to get amped up about their team's run, and they should, but there was nothing like what the 2007 NYG did.
Sheel Shah No it wasn't moron the tracy Porter pick happened in regulation he still threw in overtime and he was still the Vikings quarterback for the 2010 season
The 2007 Giants were easily one of the grittiest teams in NFL history. The epic journey they had to take to get to Super Bowl XLII was astonishing. They had to play on the road the whole time, including this game, which I think was or is the second coldest game in NFL history, only the '67 Ice Bowl was colder. Other than Super Bowl XLII, This game was also really awesome, just because of the conditions they had to play in.
Bryan O Connor I like to say about the 2007 Giants: Only Odysseus in Homer's epic 'The Odyssey' had a more difficult journey than the 07 Giants had to get to the Championship.
Goombah Marcel Don't even bring up 01 patriots. But the 10-6 WC Giants played the 10-6 Buccs away, the 12-4 cowboys away, the 13-3 packers (I think) away in sub zero temp, and to top it all off beat the 18-0 patriots away as well. No other team has had a more difficult journey in the playoffs.
Steven Manning the 2010 Packers is also one of the best playoff runs i can remember. As a packer fan i thought we wouldnt make playoffs..then when we did make playoffs wasnt expecting to go all the way..if Rodgers had solid Defense probably would have been super bowl much more n more rings than Favre..he still has good 5 years left i think in him..we shall see.
Giants journey to the Super Bowl title was by far the greatest and most difficult ever. The 01 Pats & 05 Steelers didn't have to play a 18 - 0 behemoth. Niether did they defeat a Hall of Fame QB in the Championship Rounds. (Steelers defeat Jake Plummer 😂, Pats defeated Tommy Maddox). Giants took out Favre
I was in 3rd grade when they won the super bowl that year. I was so young and just starting to really understand and enjoy sports and I’ll never forget these playoffs and the overwhelming feeling of joy after the SB win. Miss these days an awful lot
As a Giants fan, This was truly the game that inspired me and truly made me think, that the Giants could win it all in 2007. I will never forget that moment Lawrence Tynes kicked the ball through the posts in the swirling winds and bitter cold of the frozen tundra of lambeau field!!! That gave me hope to witness the first Giants Super Bowl Championship in my lifetime and just two weeks later on February 3 2008, we bring it to the undefeated Patriots and win it all!!!
@@birddogjohnson lol 2012 Ravens? Does anyone even rememeber that? Other than the lights going off and that idiot safety for Denver ... Nothing else comes to mind
This one still stands out to me. As a Giants fan. I cant say enough about Eli during those years. He just had to win. It was like watching Peyton's little brother take over the world. But it was so much more at the same time. This particular game is historic to me. To beat Brett Favre and Romo. Then to defeat the 18-0 Patriots...you can't explain the feeling as a NYG fan. But its great 👍
You're forgetting the Giants D. That's what won the game. Defense wins championships. Favre also choked as he did in every big game of his career. People talk about how well Foles did in this Super Bowl but without that fumble by Brady, The Eagles may not have won. Same as this game.
Man being from Milwaukee as a packers fan this loss hurt so bad I didn’t wanna go to school the next day I was crushed we went 8-8 the year before omg I can’t even watch this
I'm from Waukesha, Wisconsin and I still couldn't believe Favre didn't check it down to Ryan Grant for a big play that would've likely gotten the Packers into FG range.

@@michaelpeters5483 more than ever. Ever since Eli left it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. Watching the giants lose all the time doesn’t make it any easier but the giants from 2005 to 2012 was a lot of fun to watch. All good things must pass I guess
With Eli being benched I'm re-watching many of his best moments. I won't argue that his numbers aren't at best average but he was one of the best situational quarterbacks ever.
After their 2nd Super Bowl win, their O-Line & Defense became depleted with the core of the team retiring and then to get rid of Coughlin and to bring in horrible coaches... then to have receivers who keep dropping passes... it doesn't help Eli's Efficiency and QB rating.
Should be a hall of famer, the numbers in yards and tds are completely there, and he beat some of the best qbs of all time in the playoffs, Rodgers, Brady(twice in the Super Bowl), and Favre of course.
His numbers are at best AVERAGE? He retired top 10 in yards, completions and TDs, just behind Dan Marino in all categories. Average. As any NYer would say, GTFOH!!
@@nedneedlemeyer3615 Yeah, playing16 years with even below average results will do that. He had a top 10 passer rating once in 16 years. He was below the NFL average 9 times. He was 3.8 or less over the NFL average in 5 of the other 7 times. So, in 16 years, he had 2 years that were somewhat over the average. I don't see in what universe that makes a QB great. In 2018, Eli's last full year, I did a comparison between Eli and Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers and they were al 6th, 7th, and 8th all time. Only BR needed 807 FEWER attempts to have more yards and more TDs than Eli. That's almost 2 fewer seasons worth of attempts to have more than Eli. PR needed 972 fewer attempts to have more TDs and slightly fewer yards. And that's basically Eli's career. His stat to make the most top 10 each season? Attempts. Not yards. Not completion percentage. Not yards/attempt. Not TDs. Not TD percentage. Just attempts. That alone shouldspeak volumes.
this was the year Eli stopped just being Payton little brother to claim his name in his own right plus earn the Giants players & fans alike respect & admiration not to forget his claim to the hall of fame. Go Giants!!!
Eli in the regular season- choke artist Eli in the post season- clutch as hell Peyton in the regular season- unstoppable Peyton in the post season- choke artist
@DVJFan That is absolutely true. The perfect QB would be like Manning in the reg season, like Brady in the postseason and like Montana in the SB (2.75 TD per game, 0 INTs)
Actually Eli didn't win a playoff game except in 07 and 11. So with exception of those 2 one month stretches hes considered a choke artist even in the playoffs
This game crushed me so hard as a Packers fan that I never recovered. I stopped letting myself get as emotionally invested in football as I did ever again.
The 2007 giants are as close as you can get to David vs Goliath in football it's a fantastic journey en route to the biggest upset in superbowl history
The Giants have always upsets teams in games like beating Joe Montana and the 49ers 1990 NFC Championship game, beating the Bills in the Superbowl, Beating Brett Favre and the Packers in this NFC Championship game, beating the Patriots in the Superbowl when the Patriots was 18-0, Beating the 49ers in the NFC championship again in 2011 and beating the Patriots again in the superbowl.
Desmond Anderson many people had the Giants beating the niners in the NFC championship game though. Williams doesn't fumble and we're having a different convo. But other than that yeah you're right
In the 90's the 49ers games keep getting tighter till they beat them. They played a great team in the bills that game should have never been close but they played a great game.
The talk with Eli is always about the Super Bowls over the Patriots but the 2 playoff road wins over Green Bay is significant when talking about him getting into the hof
Eli is not going to the HoF. If you read headlines or ask Eli fans, it was all Eli. If you live in reality, the defense carried the team through both postseasons.
@tomknapp6194 his last 7 years were not good but overall I think the games started streak and the playoffs along with the Manning name gets him in eventually
@@eamonkelley3811 This is how little you actually know about Eli. If you split his career between 2004-11 and 2012-19 something comes to light: 2004-11: 2 SB MVP 8 Playoff Wins Best season ever Passer rating: 82 (About 9 below league average) 2012-2019: 0 Playoff wins Worst season ever Passer rating: 86 (About 5 below league average) Even though Eli had his worst year ever in the second half, the second half was till slightly better overall and he still had ZERO playoff wins. Why? Because the defense no longer carried him. It's that simple.
@@tomknapp6194no one is saying Eli is the greatest quarterback of all time but he might get an induction just for beating Tom Brady's Patriots twice in a Superbowl something no one else can say other than him as a quarterback and that is something that can't be denied
@@esdeathisbae9480 If I told you that your defense is going to hold the opposition to an average of 15.1 points/game, none over 20, and an opposing passer rating of 74, do you like your chances of winning or not? Oh, yeah, Eli still barely managed to win 5 of 8 games. And 2 of those games went to overtime in which Eli was a ghost on the "game winning drive" that he received credit for. In fact, in 7 plays on those drives, he was 0/1, yards. And everyone was saying how Eli won the game.
What a game for the ages stay warm and dry out there this why people have cable TV or cell phones enjoy the game appreciate you guys thanks for the memories you should be proud ! Joe
As a 49er fan, I saw this game and the Giants run defense won this game for them because they knew if they stopped the run Favre was going to eventually make a mistake passing the ball knowing his reputation as a gunslinger. Great game overall by both squads. One of the best games I've ever seen. Big ups to the Giants.
Thanks for the classy attitude. The Giants and the 49ers have had some proper brutal scraps over the years but I never disliked SF. Their uniform colors are sweet and they always had great defense. Ronnie Lott is the epitome of a serious man to be treated with respect.
I'll never forget this night. It was so cold, me and my fiance decided to stay close to home and watch at a local bar in Mt Horeb, WI. We should have stayed home. The Giants running killed us. We were lucky to even get that chance at the end. This was a classic Favre game.
Very, very, similar defeat at Lambeau at the hands of the 49ers in the Divisional Round last year. I don't know how I've learned to live with all this heartbreak as a fan.
Yup. Favre looked very pedestrian in this game. At one point Favre was on the sideline while the Giants went down the field in a 37 minute drive. Favre looked like a popsicle, he looked frozen like a statue. Very flat.

Tynes misses Field Goal 2:09:59 Start of overtime 2:11:26 Favre intercepted by C. Webster 2:13:24 Giants begin final drive 2:14:22 L. Tynes 47-yard game winning Field Goal
I distinctly remember saying out loud, "Don't drop THE BALL!" just as McQuarters fumbled on the punt return, because he had already fumbled on the interception. Thank God Hixon recovered.
I love going back and watching these games it really shows you how the different dynasties in nfl history operate you see the determination in their play
I was pulling so hard for the Packers to win this because I thought they had a slim chance to beat the undefeated Patriots. The G-Men still made me smile 2 weeks later in a classic
I love Al Harris. I'll never forget how good he was for us for so long (especially the walkoff TD on Hasselbeck after "We want the ball and we're gonna score"), but he got absolutely dominated in this game by Burress and the Packers should have given him more help instead of being so stubborn about the man-to-man bump-and-run scheme.
Al Harris was a joke. Give me a break, hasselbeck threw him a gift wrapped peach my highschool principal coulda picked and returned. Harris got lit up time and time again. If it wasn’t for that one pick six against the Seahawks nobody would even talk about that bum. He was a terrible cornerback.
As a packers fan this game haunts me forever. God damn favre Ryan grant was wide open for a dump off pass right infront of you! We were given every opportunity to be in this game and we still blew it. One hell of a game for the giants fans. Brandon Jacobs or Ahmad Bradshaw set the tone this game by running over al Harris. This game broke my heart especially this is how favre went out as a packer. Regardless tho good game this is a NFL classic coming from the losing end. I bit the bullet and rooted for the Giants to beat the pats this year. That was the best sb finish I ever viewed to this date. This gmen team underlooked they also beat a really good Dallas team on the road as well.
Do you think the Packers would have survived against the 18-0 Pats? The main reason they lost to the Giants was because they had played against each other weeks before and the Giants had an insane blitz defense (that was also reading Brady's play changes from the line of scrimmage). I wanted the packers to win this because I'm certain my Pats would have gone 19-0. Giants were the WORST team they could have faced in SB 42. Cowboys or Packers would have been just fine, plus Brady vs Favre? Now that's a dream matchup that will never be.
@@natebaker4144 Fumble recoveries are totally random. A team that has unusually good fumble recovery for a year will often have a better record than they deserve. Fumbles are big reason why fluke wins and losses happen.

NFL, please add the 2010 and 2011 NFC Championship Game, Super Bowl XLVI, the 2011 Divisional Round between the Giants and the Packers, and 2011 Week 14 between the Cowboys and Giants
Fans say that the Giants got hot in the 2007 playoffs. Not true. They got help with some breaks, like a lot of key drops by the Cowboys, but mostly they made plays on both side of the ball when they had to with few turnovers and just grinded it out in all four games. Third time's a charm
As a lifelong Packers fan, this game absolutely gutted me. Brett Favre has absolutely earned his HOF ring, a top 10 QB in my opinion. But the man gave away so many games, including this one. He literally threw the Giants this W. Got this still hurts to watch.... why did this god damn video pop up on my feed?!!??!! WHY?!!?? 😭😡🤬😫
Greatest game I've ever witnessed. This game is the reason why I love the Giants, and the reason why i got into my love for football. The Giants are the reason why my dream is to be a GM for an NFL franchise, no matter how hard it is and trust me I'v done my research I know its going to be extremely hard and painful, but I'm willing to do that. God I love football
This is where the NY Giants Cinderella Story was supposed to come to a merry end, and little did any of us knew it, we were right smack of a storied journey!!
THIS is one of the Greatest Games ever Played...if you like the Giants. I don't know how good this game is for neutrals. There's 4 lead changes. This is an Old School game; Fullbacks on the field most downs; lots of Physical play.
The Pack was overpowered; 2 yards a carry on 14 runs. ONE big bomb to Driver ; 2 missed fieldgoals; a 13 point swing if the Giants weren't sloppy..... but that's what made it great; could the Giants drive the ball fundamentally to make up for the mistakes.
2022, the good ole days when wear a NY giants Jersey meant something. By the way def coach is now the def. Coach for Kansas City chiefs. And well Green Bay’s head coach that year is now cowboys head coach. Mike McCarthy. It’s a small world
One of my all time favorite NFL playoff games, even after 11 years I still come back and enjoy watching this great "icy-cold" Championship video at Green Bay.
It's hard for me to chose between which of the 2 QB led Packers I enjoyed the most watching each defeated by the Giants led by Eli Manning heroics....And to think, Eli will be asked to do it again! My heart leaps for joy!

@DVJFan That is absolutely true. The perfect QB would be like Manning in the reg season, like Brady in the postseason and like Montana in the SB (2.75 TD per game, 0 INTs)
Peyton ruined football for me as an Indy fan. After watching him for 16 years (including with the Broncos) every other QB bores me to tears.
Actually Eli didn't win a playoff game except in 07 and 11. So with exception of those 2 one month stretches hes considered a choke artist even in the playoffs
Giants upset 49ers in 2011 NFC championship game next please
Angad Babra that was the third best game in the franchise history EVER
True
Kyle Williams won that game for the Giants.
+Alex Reyes Yes I'm so proud about what he did
I'm surprised Eli survived that game.
Always interesting to watch these old games and see players that you forgot about and old players back when they were just getting started.
This game crushed me so hard as a Packers fan that I never recovered. I stopped letting myself get as emotionally invested in football as I did ever again.
The 2007 Giants are my fave team of all time. NOT the greatest of time,but my fave team. Tom Coughlin is the man.
May not be the greatest, but they beat what would have been considered the greatest.
The 2007 giants are as close as you can get to David vs Goliath in football it's a fantastic journey en route to the biggest upset in superbowl history
The Giants have always upsets teams in games like beating Joe Montana and the 49ers 1990 NFC Championship game, beating the Bills in the Superbowl, Beating Brett Favre and the Packers in this NFC Championship game, beating the Patriots in the Superbowl when the Patriots was 18-0, Beating the 49ers in the NFC championship again in 2011 and beating the Patriots again in the superbowl.
your absolutely correct. excellent comment
Desmond Anderson many people had the Giants beating the niners in the NFC championship game though. Williams doesn't fumble and we're having a different convo. But other than that yeah you're right
Haters (aka Pats fans) will call it luck.
As a loyal PackersFan I can't help but agree to this fact
In the 90's the 49ers games keep getting tighter till they beat them. They played a great team in the bills that game should have never been close but they played a great game.
As a giants fan I'm happy
Its always good to meet another New York Football Giants fan
Lakittah Eagleton we gonna do it again on Sunday GO GIANTS
Bryce Flee32 how fully

The talk with Eli is always about the Super Bowls over the Patriots but the 2 playoff road wins over Green Bay is significant when talking about him getting into the hof
Eli is not going to the HoF. If you read headlines or ask Eli fans, it was all Eli. If you live in reality, the defense carried the team through both postseasons.
@tomknapp6194 his last 7 years were not good but overall I think the games started streak and the playoffs along with the Manning name gets him in eventually
@@eamonkelley3811 This is how little you actually know about Eli. If you split his career between 2004-11 and 2012-19 something comes to light:
2004-11:
2 SB MVP
8 Playoff Wins
Best season ever
Passer rating: 82 (About 9 below league average)
2012-2019:
0 Playoff wins
Worst season ever
Passer rating: 86 (About 5 below league average)
Even though Eli had his worst year ever in the second half, the second half was till slightly better overall and he still had ZERO playoff wins.
Why? Because the defense no longer carried him.
It's that simple.
@@tomknapp6194no one is saying Eli is the greatest quarterback of all time but he might get an induction just for beating Tom Brady's Patriots twice in a Superbowl something no one else can say other than him as a quarterback and that is something that can't be denied
@@esdeathisbae9480 If I told you that your defense is going to hold the opposition to an average of 15.1 points/game, none over 20, and an opposing passer rating of 74, do you like your chances of winning or not?
Oh, yeah, Eli still barely managed to win 5 of 8 games. And 2 of those games went to overtime in which Eli was a ghost on the "game winning drive" that he received credit for. In fact, in 7 plays on those drives, he was 0/1, yards. And everyone was saying how Eli won the game.
What a game for the ages stay warm and dry out there this why people have cable TV or cell phones enjoy the game appreciate you guys thanks for the memories you should be proud ! Joe
As Giants fan it was a nerve wrecking game lol. Definitely the long snapper and the field goal kicker redeemed themselves at the end
As a 49er fan, I saw this game and the Giants run defense won this game for them because they knew if they stopped the run Favre was going to eventually make a mistake passing the ball knowing his reputation as a gunslinger. Great game overall by both squads. One of the best games I've ever seen. Big ups to the Giants.
Thanks for the classy attitude. The Giants and the 49ers have had some proper brutal scraps over the years but I never disliked SF. Their uniform colors are sweet and they always had great defense. Ronnie Lott is the epitome of a serious man to be treated with respect.
I'll never forget this night. It was so cold, me and my fiance decided to stay close to home and watch at a local bar in Mt Horeb, WI. We should have stayed home. The Giants running killed us. We were lucky to even get that chance at the end. This was a classic Favre game.
I remember this like it was yesterday.
Very, very, similar defeat at Lambeau at the hands of the 49ers in the Divisional Round last year. I don't know how I've learned to live with all this heartbreak as a fan.

how appropriate that favre's last throw as a packer is an interception
naturalselector85 Very
naturalselector85 ikr
Best comment lol
how appropriate that favre's last throw is a interception
Yup. Favre looked very pedestrian in this game. At one point Favre was on the sideline while the Giants went down the field in a 37 minute drive. Favre looked like a popsicle, he looked frozen like a statue. Very flat.
That first truck by Jacobs was brutal!!!!
Thanks for the memories, and those 2 parades, Eli!
Favre was such an interception king. I feel like it doesn’t get mentioned a lot.
He also was a 3x league MVP and once had the most yards and TDs in NFL history.
Let's not forget those little tidbits.

True road warriors. Thank you G-men 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Plexico was and still is extremely underrated.
Michael C. Well he did shoot himself in the foot
Leg specifically.
Plaxico
anyone watching this after Eli's retirement announcement?? just a beast in these type of games. Always my QB #10
I distinctly remember saying out loud, "Don't drop THE BALL!" just as McQuarters fumbled on the punt return, because he had already fumbled on the interception. Thank God Hixon recovered.
Dude that fumble would’ve been one of the worst plays in NY sports history.
I love going back and watching these games it really shows you how the different dynasties in nfl history operate you see the determination in their play
Whether it's 2007 or 2011, the underdog Giants ran the table of higher seeds. You DON'T want to meet the Giants in the playoffs.
Plaxico Burris was shouting, "He can't cover me." after his second catch of the game. He was uncoverable on this day.
I was 10 at the time of this game. I remember crying my eyes out after the Packers lost.
i'll never forget this game, a great, gritty win by the G men... and an impressive playoff run...... a well-earned championship season.....
I miss that scoreboard at the top of the screen; the new one isn't as cool.
Ikr
Agree!!
It's nostalgic but it gets in the way of the action. I'm happy they changed it
The one in 2010-2011 for FOX was better but this was a good one. Agree.
I was pulling so hard for the Packers to win this because I thought they had a slim chance to beat the undefeated Patriots. The G-Men still made me smile 2 weeks later in a classic
I love Al Harris. I'll never forget how good he was for us for so long (especially the walkoff TD on Hasselbeck after "We want the ball and we're gonna score"), but he got absolutely dominated in this game by Burress and the Packers should have given him more help instead of being so stubborn about the man-to-man bump-and-run scheme.
Al Harris was a joke. Give me a break, hasselbeck threw him a gift wrapped peach my highschool principal coulda picked and returned. Harris got lit up time and time again. If it wasn’t for that one pick six against the Seahawks nobody would even talk about that bum. He was a terrible cornerback.
Can't believe this was 10 years ago, I remember this like it was yesterday
And Brett Favre's last pass as a Packer was an overtime-interception in the NFC Championship which set up the Giants' game-winning field goal.
This was one of the first heartbreaks I saw as a 9 year old packer fan boy I’ve seen too many since then…
Spagnuolo is a legendary defensive coach!
Setting here watching old games these DB's was way better than today's DB's who agree 🤷🏾♂️💯
such a classic. Burress had the game of his life
They were on their way of repeating until he became an idiot...smh. took them a few years to bounce back and run it again.
I can't believe it's been over 16 years! Go G-Men!🏈🇺🇲
I LOVE THIS GAME ! 🔵🔴
"Just so you know it's 63 degrees in Glendale Arizona right now" - Joe Buck, 2007
As a packers fan this game haunts me forever. God damn favre Ryan grant was wide open for a dump off pass right infront of you! We were given every opportunity to be in this game and we still blew it. One hell of a game for the giants fans. Brandon Jacobs or Ahmad Bradshaw set the tone this game by running over al Harris. This game broke my heart especially this is how favre went out as a packer. Regardless tho good game this is a NFL classic coming from the losing end. I bit the bullet and rooted for the Giants to beat the pats this year. That was the best sb finish I ever viewed to this date. This gmen team underlooked they also beat a really good Dallas team on the road as well.
Do you think the Packers would have survived against the 18-0 Pats? The main reason they lost to the Giants was because they had played against each other weeks before and the Giants had an insane blitz defense (that was also reading Brady's play changes from the line of scrimmage). I wanted the packers to win this because I'm certain my Pats would have gone 19-0. Giants were the WORST team they could have faced in SB 42. Cowboys or Packers would have been just fine, plus Brady vs Favre? Now that's a dream matchup that will never be.
Worse loss, this one or 2011 divisional?
No excuse to not recover the fumble on the punt
@@mikemiken1963 2014 nfc chip
@@natebaker4144 Fumble recoveries are totally random. A team that has unusually good fumble recovery for a year will often have a better record than they deserve. Fumbles are big reason why fluke wins and losses happen.
Who is also watching this after Eli decided to retire --2020?
Jeff: Maybe Eli retired because there won't be a season because of COVID-19. Not sure though.

Should’ve been Favre vs. Brady been a dream super bowl
Fans say that the Giants got hot in the 2007 playoffs. Not true. They got help with some breaks, like a lot of key drops by the Cowboys, but mostly they made plays on both side of the ball when they had to with few turnovers and just grinded it out in all four games. Third time's a charm
Just remember, we almost had a Favre-Brady Superbowl
Almost had a rodgers brady super bowl 2 times. We suck at mfc championship games. If we win today we go to another one
@@person-ce8cr lmao
That would’ve been 100x better
As a lifelong Packers fan, this game absolutely gutted me. Brett Favre has absolutely earned his HOF ring, a top 10 QB in my opinion. But the man gave away so many games, including this one. He literally threw the Giants this W. Got this still hurts to watch.... why did this god damn video pop up on my feed?!!??!! WHY?!!?? 😭😡🤬😫
Greatest game I've ever witnessed. This game is the reason why I love the Giants, and the reason why i got into my love for football. The Giants are the reason why my dream is to be a GM for an NFL franchise, no matter how hard it is and trust me I'v done my research I know its going to be extremely hard and painful, but I'm willing to do that. God I love football
Sportastica Nothing is impossible if you put your effort and mindset into it brother
Plaxico was feasting on Al Harris lol
Every single tackle in this game looked extremely painful
For you...
I wish I was old enough to remember this. Would have been goin crazy.
"The kick...is...good! And the Giants are going to the Super Bowl!"
I had tears in my eyes the first time I heard that statement. Beautiful memories.
What a redemption arc for Tynes
Amazing that one of the greatest conference championship games was followed up by one of the greatest Super Bowls ever all broadcasted on FOX.
1990 NFC Championship Game please. One of the best games in NFC Championship history!
Not to mention Madden/Summerall >>>>>>>>>>>> Buck/Aikman
Absolutely true! That was perhaps the greatest game I have ever seen.
The Marshall hit on Montana I’ll never forget
Had to watch this after Eli's retirement another Eli great game.
Great game for the Giants defense. Just another average game for Eli in which he didn't contribute that much.
Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre both had their final throws as a Packer be game-losing, season-losing, interceptions at Lambeau Field.
2011 divisional round Giants vs Packers pls
GodsSon987
Might be uploaded soon since the Giants and Packers are up for the wild card match
This is where the NY Giants Cinderella Story was supposed to come to a merry end, and little did any of us knew it, we were right smack of a storied journey!!
Weather alone shows why we love this game
One of my favorite field goals of all time
These 1st seed Packer home playoff losses to the giants give me chills 🧀🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
The Packers were the second seed, Cowboys were the #1 seed!
Great game. I was on the edge of my seat. 💘.
There's no way you were stopping Eli this year. He was fighting for a sibling rivalry.
THIS is one of the Greatest Games ever Played...if you like the Giants. I don't know how good this game is for neutrals. There's 4 lead changes. This is an Old School game; Fullbacks on the field most downs; lots of Physical play.
The Pack was overpowered; 2 yards a carry on 14 runs. ONE big bomb to Driver ; 2 missed fieldgoals; a 13 point swing if the Giants weren't sloppy..... but that's what made it great; could the Giants drive the ball fundamentally to make up for the mistakes.
Giants owning great teams since the franchise began
Number one team
No

Joking. I know we aren't. But we are top 10 when disciplined (no penalties).

I never said anything about the Eagles. But currently they are. They'll choke eventually and help out mah Giants.
"KING" Of Kings Gaming was I not right???
2022, the good ole days when wear a NY giants Jersey meant something. By the way def coach is now the def. Coach for Kansas City chiefs. And well Green Bay’s head coach that year is now cowboys head coach. Mike McCarthy. It’s a small world
One of my all time favorite NFL playoff games, even after 11 years I still come back and enjoy watching this great "icy-cold" Championship video at Green Bay.
It's hard for me to chose between which of the 2 QB led Packers I enjoyed the most watching each defeated by the Giants led by Eli Manning heroics....And to think, Eli will be asked to do it again! My heart leaps for joy!
UrbanSipfly if Packers win, we'll have to beat them again.
Giants defensive line was incredible back then, Plaxico n eli were playing catch, one of the best NFC games, ever
Thank you for breaking down the highlights.
