NFC CHAMPS!


...posted by Anthony De Rosa...

After missing a field goal with 5 seconds left in the game, Lawrence Tynes earns redemption in overtime, kicking a 47 yard field goal to send the New York Giants to their first Super Bowl since 2000.

The Packers won the coin toss and took over on offense in overtime, but Corey Webster, who had once lost his job earlier in the season, had the huge interception soon after that set up the game winning field goal.

The Giants and Packers went back and forth all evening long but Eli Manning was able to out sling the veteran Favre. Manning did not turn the ball over for the third straight playoff game, throwing for 254 yards. The Packers secondary could not stop Plaxico Burress who had 11 catches for 154 yards. Brandon Jacobs rushed for 67 yards, but it was Ahmad Bradshaw who made the biggest impact down the stretch. He had several big runs in the fourth quarter and scored the game tying touchdown with 2 minutes left.

The Giants controlled the ball and held the edge in time of possession, 38:22 to 21:38.

The Giants who seem on stoppable on the road, with continue down the road to their 4th Super Bowl in team history.
