NFC – Giants-Packers Preview
The New York Giants wanted a rematch with the Green Bay Packers after losing to them in the regular season. The defending Super Bowl champion Packers, however, may have their minds elsewhere leading up to this NFC divisional playoff matchup.
Green Bay will have heavy hearts heading into Sunday’s home meeting with the Giants after the tragic death earlier this week of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin’s son.
The buildup for a much-anticipated rematch of the Packers’ 38-35 victory at New York on Dec. 4 has taken a back seat after the loss of 21-year-old Michael T. Philbin, who disappeared early Sunday and was reported missing that night.
On the field, league MVP favorite Aaron Rodgers and fellow Pro Bowl selection Eli Manning will meet in the playoffs for the first time. Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns and Manning had 347 and three scores in last month’s meeting between Super Bowl MVPs.
The Packers improved to 12-0 with that victory before suffering their only loss two weeks later in Kansas City.
Rodgers, 2-0 against the Giants, threw for 45 TDs and 4,643 yards with six interceptions and an NFL-record 122.5 passer rating this season. Manning fell 67 yards shy of 5,000 before completing 23 of 32 passes for 277 yards with three touchdowns in last Sunday’s 24-2 win over Atlanta in a wild-card game.
The Giants (10-7) will be trying to exploit a Green Bay defense that ranked last in the NFL in the regular season, although the unit produced a league-high 31 interceptions. (Source preview: more on ESPN)
The winner will face San Francisco 49ers for the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.
If Giants win, New York will visit San Francisco 49ers or If Packers win, Green Bay will play at home for the NFC Title game against San Francisco.
