The NFC game will go down in history as an NFL classic. I can't believe the toughness of the players on both teams. The weather was colder than it is here this morning. I wouldn't go outside sleeveless for 30 seconds in this weather. Yet those players were outside for hours in that cold. Unbelievable! My question is how that kind of thing would affect the health of the players most importantly the Giants who have another tough game ahead of them? Wouldn't being exposed to that kind of weather while physically exerting yourself be really hard on the immune system?
Eli showed a tonne of courage in that game. I for one think he has emerged from under his brothers shadow. He accomplished one thing that his brother has never been able to do. Go on the road in adverse conditions and pull off a win in the playoffs. Giants fans should be awfully proud of his play in the post season.
Plaxico Burris also came up huge. When they showed him shivering on the bench before kickoff and Pam Oliver said that Plaxico told her that he couldn't feel his fingers before the game. I thought he was going to be a non factor. He came up big with some amazing catches. What a performance.
What is the nickname for that game going to be?
