Week 5 -- Oct. 15, 1933 at Polo Grounds

*Eastern Conference Playoff -- Dec. 21 at Yankee Stadium

*After beating Cleveland twice in regular season -- including the game in which Pat Summerall kicked his famous game-winning field goal in the snow -- the Giants scored the lone touchdown on Frank Gifford's lateral to Charlie Conerly. They also held Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown to a career-low eight yards on seven carries for the shutout victory.

NFC Championship -- Jan. 11, 1987 at Giants Stadium

*The Giants won the coin toss and, in the face of 35-mph winds, famously chose to defend, which would be one of the game's most important calls. Touchdowns by Lionel Manuel and Joe Morris along with a Raul Allegre field goal produced a 17-0 halftime lead for the Giants before the defense took absolute control in second half. With the victory, the Giants punched a ticket to their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

The Giants rolled up 518 total yards and 31 first downs, while the defense limited Minnesota's heralded attack to 114 yards and nine first downs.
