At 9:14 PM Central Standard Time, Lawrence Tynes took the field after missing two straight field goals that would've launched the Giants into the Super Bowl.Tynes then kicked the 47 yard field goal with 12:25 left in overtime regulation, winning the game that also ended up sending the Giants on a 2,465 mile road trip to the desert to face the New England Patriots.
Eli Manning showed that he was ready, despite being the target of a prank that ended in him receiving a DVD set of "Seinfeld," courtesy of Jerry Seinfeld. To ensure that he was gonna win this game, Manning also forced his fiancé, Amy, to sit in the in the cold at Lambeau field.
Eli's brother, Cooper, stated that "He heard that she had been invited to the press box a couple of times and the result wasn't so great so he wasn't gonna take a chance."
Not jinxed this time, Manning threw for 254 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
The running game came up big for the Giants with Brandon Jacobs running the ball 21 times for 67 yards with one touchdown. Ahmad Bradshaw added 16 carries for 63 Yards and a touchdown.
The win puts Tom Coughlin at 6-6 in the postseason, and gives the Giants their second win over the Packers in the postseason.
The win also gives New York its tenth straight on the road. This year's Super Bowl will be a rematch from Week 17, as the Giants will have their second shot at spoiling New England's run for perfection.
Last time the game went down to the wire, but the Pats pulled off the victory.
In two weeks we will find out who will take the giant step into history, and hopefully it will be the New York Giants.
