NY Giants vs 49ers in NFC Championship Game
After beating the Green Bay Packers, 37-20 the New York Giants are headed to San Francisco next Sunday to play for the NFC championship. The Giants are one game away from a second Super Bowl appearance in the past four years.
When the Giants met the San Francisco 49ers in November, during regular season play, they lost 27-20. This was the first of four consecutive losses for the Giants. The Giants are looking at this match-up with the 49ers as a chance to avenge this loss.
“I’m going to go ahead and answer this for you: Do we feel we’re gonna win in San Fran?’’ Tuck said. “Yes, we feel like we’re gonna win in San Fran. Am I guaranteeing a win? No, I’m not.’’
As this will be the 13th conference championship game for the 49ers, the third most of any team, they are going in with quite a bit of experience. This is the fifth conference championship for the New York Giants, who are heading into this game with a 4-0 record for this round.
Both starting quarterbacks were number 1 picks in the NFL draft. Manning was the No. 1 pick in 2004, and Smith was the No. 1 pick in 2005. This will be only the second time in history that two No. 1 overall picks have faced each other in a conference championship.
The winner of this game will play the winner of the AFC Championship in the Super Bowl. The AFC Championship will feature the Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots.
