Against Tampa Bay, Mcquarters apparently caught a ball out of bounds. However, it was reviewed and Mcquarters was credited with an interception that ended Tampa's chance for a comeback.

At the end of the Giants divisional round game against the Cowboys, Tony Romo and the Cowboys were driving down the field in the last minute looking for a game winning score.

Webster intercepted the ball at the Green Bay 43 yard line setting up Lawrence Tynes' game winning 47 yard field goal. Tynes became the first road player to kick a 40+ yard field goal in a playoff game at Lambeau Field.

Answer: Kevin Boss

Manning connected with Boss on the 45 yard strike that took the Giants from their own 20 all the way down to the New England 35 yard line. Five plays later, Manning connected on a 5 yard touchdown pass with David Tyree.

Tyree, who only had 4 catches for 35 yards in the regular season, leaped above Patriots safety Rodney Harrison and held the ball against his helmet, to hold onto the ball as he went to the ground. Tyree finished the game with 4 catches, 43 yards and a touchdown. The game winning drive ended when Manning hit Plaxico Burress on a 13 yard fade route with 35 seconds left in the game.
