NFL - Playoffs: Giants at 49ers


Giants Indy-bound after knocking off 49ers in OT


"Lawrence Tynes booted the New York Giants into the Super Bowl again.
Tynes kicked a winning 31-yard field goal in sudden-death overtime, and the Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday night to reach its second Super Bowl in five seasons.
Eli Manning and the Giants will face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis, just as they did when they won it in 2008.
Tynes also kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime at Green Bay in the 2008 NFC title game that put the Giants in the Super Bowl.
Devon Thomas put the Giants in position. He recovered his second fumble of the game after Jacquian Williams stripped the ball from Kyle Williams, the 49ers' fill-in return man." @ nfl.com
