Comments:
The Giants move up more than 4% on their road win over the highly ranked 49ers. They're still a long ways back of the Patriots, though.
The 2011 Giants join the 1979 Rams and the 2008 Cardinals as the only 7-loss teams to advance to the Super Bowl. The Rams and Cardinals both lost.
A number of teams with negative regular season point differentials (points scored - points allowed) have won in the playoffs (including the Broncos this year). The 2011 Giants are the only such team to advance to the Super Bowl.
The 49ers have now gone 1-5 in their last 6 NFC Championship games, including 4 home losses.
Tom Brady and Eli Manning are the first quarterbacks to have a Super Bowl rematch since Troy Aikman and Jim Kelly had their rematch in Super Bowl XXVIII
