GREEN BAY –The great road show in NFL history will play its final act in Super Bowl XLII.
The Giants continued their remarkable postseason run Sunday by twice coming from behind to defeat the Green Bay Packers in overtime, 23-20, in the NFC Championship Game in frigid Lambeau Field.
The Giants, 13-6, improved to 4-0 in conference championship games and advanced to their first Super Bowl since 2000. They will face the AFC Champion New England Patriots on Feb. 3 in Glendale, Ariz. The Giants lost to the Patriots, 38-35, in the regular season finale on Dec. 29.
K Lawrence Tynes missed the game-winning 36-yard field goal at the end of regulation but kicked the game-winner from 47-yards out in overtime!
The field goal was set up by Corey Webster's interception.
Once again, the Giants proved they are at home on the road. They extended their own record by winning their 10th consecutive road game and they became the first team in history to win 10 games as visitors in one season.
The Giants also became the third team in history to advance to the Super Bowl by winning three road games, joining the 1985 Patriots and 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers.
