text: For much of the game, cornerback Corey Webster had been playing with a massive chip on his shoulder.  While the Giants coaches had tried to encourage him and assure him that he would get another opportunity, he remained angry over his poor play resulting in Brett Favre's 90-yard touchdown to Donald Driver and wanted to make a big play to make up for it.  He finally got an opportunity on the second play of overtime.  The Packers called an out pattern play for Driver, where Donald Lee would shift to fullback and attempt to deceive the Giants defense into believing that he would be a lead blocker on a running play (they had previously called this play twice before in the game, with the play being successful both times).  Favre dropped back, and in a bonehead play that helped to define his legacy as a "gunslinger," threw the ball straight towards Webster, who was in position against Driver.  Webster took advantage of his long-awaited opportunity and intercepted the pass, and went five yards before Driver dragged him down, which gave the Giants the ball in Packer territory.  The Giants failed to convert on 3rd down and decided to go for the field goal.  Although he had missed his previous two attempts, Tynes, like Webster before him, also wanted another opportunity and sprinted straight onto the field for a 47-yard attempt with 12:29 left in OT.  Before Tynes's attempt, no kicker had made a field goal of over 40 yards with the game time temperature below freezing.  Tynes's attempt initially went wide of the right goalpost, but the wind hooked it left and the kick went just over the crossbar for the game-winning field goal, and the Giants became the 2007 NFC Champions.
  The Giants beat the Packers, 23–20.  The Giants victory was the first championship win over the Packers since 1938.  The Packers have a 4–2 record over the Giants in NFL/NFC Championship series.  The win also marked the Giants' 10th straight road win and their 4th straight NFC Championship victory.
