NEW York quarterback Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes as the Giants shocked Green Bay on Sunday, beating the Packers 37-20 to move within one win of a Super Bowl appearance.
Manning threw for 330 yards, sending the Giants to San Francisco for the NFC championship game next Sunday.
The Packers might have been the reigning Super Bowl champs, but the Giants might be the hottest team in the NFL.
"We're a dangerous team," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "I like where we are and how we're playing."
The Giants stunned the Packers with a touchdown off a long heave from Manning to Hakeem Nicks just before halftime, then knocked them out with a late touchdown off a turnover.
The win came four years after the Giants beat a Brett Favre-led Packers team in the NFC title game. It wasn't nearly as frigid this time around, and the Packers' vulnerable defense seemed to be waiting to get sliced up. Manning found six different receivers against a porous Packers defense. But Manning did the most damage with his throws to Nicks, who caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
In Baltimore, the hosts repeatedly stole the ball, and snatched a 20-13 victory from Houston, advancing to the AFC championship game for the second time in four years. Baltimore will visit the New England Patriots, with the winner moving on to the Super Bowl.
