Love the fact they beat the pats again. The pats can eat it.

Yep, they came to play in the playoffs. The run game became decent in the playoffs and the defense was very good. Pretty hard to call a team that holds the Pats and Packers to half their averages and shuts out the Falcons the "league's worst defense." Not quite as extreme as the dreadful 2006 Colts defense carrying Peyton to the title, but the Giants D played very well.
