Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Giants lost twice to the Cowboys in the regular season, in Week 1 and Week 10. They also lost to the Packers in Week 2, and to the Patriots in Week 17. Some say that their 38-35 loss to the Pats was the impetus for their playoff run. Their four games were:

24-14 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21-17 @ Dallas Cowboys

17-14 vs. New England Patriots

Answer: 2

Lawrence Tynes missed twice in the fourth quarter, once from 43 yards and once from 36 yards (which would have won the game with no time left). The Packers got the ball to start overtime, but cornerback Corey Webster intercepted Brett Favre during the first series. Tynes' 47-yarder was the first-ever field goal over 40 yards to be made at Lambeau field in the playoffs.

Answer: 3rd Down

Manning's pass to Tyree moved the Giants to the New England 24 yard-line to extend their game-winning drive. The play before, Manning was almost intercepted by Pats cornerback Asante Samuel.

Answer: Plaxico Burress

Burress' catch with 35 seconds to go won the game for the Giants, 17-14. It was one of only two catches for Burress in the game. Toomer was the leading Giants receiver with 6 catches for 84 yards. Manning was the game's MVP.
