 The Giants defense brought more of the same in the playoffs, defeating the Bears easily in the divisional round 31-3 and holding the 49ers, who averaged 22.1 points per game in the regular season to only 13 points in the winning 15-13.Considered by many as one of the greatest games in NFL history it was an extremely physical contest, including a hit by Leonard Marshall on Joe Montana that symbolically ended his career as the quarterback of the 49ers (he would never win or reach another Super Bowl in a 49er uniform).The Giants would ultimately face the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV, perhaps the most impressive win of the season.
