The Giants will face the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game after knocking off the 15-1 Packers on Sunday afternoon. New York lost to San Francisco 27-20 in November, but suffered a worse fate against New Orleans, who the 49ers eliminated on Saturday afternoon. The Saints thumped the Giants 49-24 earlier in the season. "Just how we played against New Orleans and how we played against San Fran, definitely, it works out in our favor a little bit," wide receiver Victor Cruz said. "That we are able to get San Fran as opposed to New Orleans just because of how we feel about (the 49ers) and we understand that we have a good chance of winning that game. We felt like we had a chance to win. We understood that if we saw them again, it could potentially be a different outcome and we wanted that opportunity."
