Notes:
The Giants have won nine
straight road games (including
the playoffs), an NFL
single-season and overall
franchise record. New York won
these two teams last meeting in
Green Bay (2004), 14-7, with
Kurt Warner under center. This
will be Eli Manning's first NFL
appearance at Lambeau Field
The Packers are now 15-2
(.882) at home in the playoffs
all-time — the second-best win
percentage in NFL history
(behind New England's .909 -
10-1 record)
Around the Web:
United Front:
A team in turmoil early in
the season, the Giants have
bonded as a group and now stand
one victory away from an
improbable Super Bowl berth.

Packers' blueprint:
By emphasizing the draft
instead of quick fixes in free
agency, Packers GM Ted Thompson
has built a solid foundation in
Green Bay.
