GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The road to back-to-back Super Bowls got officially blown up as the sixth-seeded New York Giants took full advantage of a sloppy effort in a 37-20 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field Sunday.
Plagued by numerous dropped passes and 4 turnovers, the Packers didn't look like the team that went 15-1 during the regular season and earned home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
Eli Manning went 21-of-33 for 330 yards, 3 touchdowns with 1 interception for the victorious Giants, who now head to San Francisco next Sunday to play the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks caught 7 passes for 165 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a 37-yard hail mary at the end of the first half.
Aaron Rodgers finished the day 26-of-46 for 264 yards, with 2 touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Donald Driver caught 3 balls for 45 yards and a touchdown.
