bullet::::- the new york giants have the most playoff meetings versus the 49ers (eight). this rivalry is rooted in the 1980s when both teams were on the rise. in the first two playoff meetings between these two teams, the joe montana-led 49ers won both meetings, 38–24 in 1981 and 21–10 in 1984 both in the divisional round at candlestick park, the 49ers went on to win their first two super bowl championships both seasons. the giants won the next three playoff meetings, which included a 49–3 rout at giants stadium in 1986, and the 1990 nfc championship, where they upset the 49ers 15–13, ruining the 49ers hopes of a super bowl three-peat after roger craig lost a fumble late in the fourth quarter and let the giants score on a last-second field goal. giants also went on to win their first two super bowl championships both seasons. the 49ers defeated the giants 44–3 in 1993 in the divisional round. in the 2002 nfc wildcard game, the giants were ahead 38–14 late in the third quarter; however, the 49ers came back from the 24-point deficit to beat the giants with a 39–38 victory. the teams met again in the 2011 nfc championship at candlestick park, and just like the 1990 nfc championship, it was a low-scoring game; the giants won the game on a lawrence tynes 31-yard field goal in overtime, 20–17. in an eerie similarity to roger craig's fumble 21 years earlier, kyle williams fumbled a punt in the crucial minutes of the game, and just like the last two times the giants beat the 49ers in the playoffs, they went on to win the super bowl. the all-time series is a tie record of 15–15, and includes a postseason record of 4–4.
