What about New York? No team has ever exhibited more greatness on the road than the 2007 Giants, who won at Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay on their way to a Super Bowl title no one thought possible.

But last week they found that giddy, January 2008 vibe again at chilly Lambeau Field during a resounding win over the top-seeded Green Bay Packers. To get to the big show one more time, they must match the feat of their 1991 brethren, who flew out to San Francisco to battle for an NFC title and flew home on sheer exuberance after conquering the dynasty of the '80s.
