- Throwback to better days for both of these franchises. The Giants continue their playoff run with a trip to Candlestick Park to take on the 49ers, and renew a classic playoff rivalry from the '80s and '90s.
This is one of the best games in NFL history
Ares Bun hell ya eli took a beaten, but kept on swingin i love this game.
Back in the day the giants were in and out of the playoffs and once again weren't favored in this one. After this game you couldnt tell me anything about eli, that's my QB, he was a soldier this game.
Kind of an anticlimactic finish, though. Fumbled punt return decides it.
@@jaywunder13242 my man got the shit heat out of him it wasn't the numbers. If you loved through this real time you know what it is.
you think a rigged game where a clear game deciding fumble was negated was a good game? Fuck you.
This is the year that made Eli an HOF. He was captain comeback all year and into the post season. If it wasn't for him, we would have not made the playoffs that year. But this game I feel won over most of the doubters by getting beat to a pulp and still hung in stepping into throws without being fazed. Respect!
There are so QB who are far better than Eli who would've melted down in this game if protection wasn't there. Eli was overall an above average QB who absolutely shined in big games. Cold as ice. Sharp as nails.
I love when the Giants and 49ers play each other especially when it’s in the Playoffs
Eli played like a warrior this game but we can't dismiss the fact that Kyle Williams gift wrapped a Giants win.
@@terrywayne_ I think 2:18:54 was more critical. That was a fumble and the rules didn’t allow the coach to challenge it being called “down”.
@@terrywayne_ I blame Greg Roman more if I were you.
One of Eli's best moments. Winning another road playoff game in tough conditions. Getting beat up and still came through in the clutch! Go giants
Had the flu prior to this game too. Hate him or love him, but you can’t question his toughness and determination
Kyle Williams mvp
realizing both john and jim harbaugh lose the same day 2012 @@HotRoute7
Anyone here after the Eli era is over? Its bittersweet. All time great, consummate professional, tenacious, everything you need in a quarterback
GP2626 oh ya! Def good times right here.
Eli will be a legend and a God in New York and New Jersey for the rest of his life. And he will be in the Hall of Fame.
Great moments
@@newyorkgiants9621 he was handicapped most of his career because the Giants never had a good offensive line.
When you give Eli time, he is just as accurate as anyone else. The throws he made in the Superbowl show that.
Hands down one of the toughest grittiest performances for two defenses, these guys left everything out on the field. Exactly what championship football needs to be like!!
Gosh, Eli showed so much tenacity and toughness in this game!! Just got the snot beat out of him, and got back up and asked for more. Throws the ball 58 times, and does not throw an interception!! What a game!!
Way to ignore the handful of dropped interceptions he tossed into coverage...
Luke R. But they weren’t interceptions tho. So yeahhh...
his performance was gutsy.
And mind you, he was getting over a stomach virus the week leading up to this game.
Yeah this was the game that I respected Eli Manning. My Niners beat him to the ground play after play but he still kept getting up. Still mad at Kyle Williams but I wasnt sending him death threats like some were
2:27:19 This is the lasting image I have of this playoff run. Eli was one of the toughest players to ever play in the NFL and I'm proud he was a NY Giant.
Eli's the NFL's Mr. Clutch.
@@davereynolds7472 in QB, but Adam Vinateri is known as "Mr. Clutch" in all NFL.
Go big blue
Actually Eli father Archie took bigger hits. Eli is still Clutch Manning
hall of famer in my opinion as a brady rider
This is far and away the most vintage Eli Manning game of all time. For a guy who has never missed time due to an injury, to take so many hits on 50+ drop backs and get right back up every single time... bravo. He must have been really sore for his date with Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, and went ahead and beat him anyway. Incredible game, legendary performance, and one I'll never forget.
his postseason play qualifies him for the hof. lf Troy Aikman got in then Eli should.
I remember watching this game and couldn’t believe how Eli was taking so much punishment
His best performance ever IMO
facts i saw it in person
This game... was THE most stressful game I've ever been through as a Giants fan. More than the 07-08 NFC Championship and even more than Super Bowls 42 and 46. Eli's toughness and "on to the next play" mentality, no matter what happened, was legendary.
It’s crazy how in ‘90, ‘07, and ‘11 that the giants won the nfc championship game on the road with a game winning field goal! #giantpride
Twice against the 9ers in Frisco.
and all 3 after turnovers
'86 and '00 they didn't give up a single point. #giantpride
How do u like your giants now?
@@robertbeck2604 terrible ma terrible
Packers fan since birth . But wow 07 Giants beat cowboys and Packers on the road to beat undefeated Patriots then in 2011 beat Packers on road again beat really good 49ers on road then Patriots again . That's crazy
The two Eli/NY SB runs were the best playoff runs to watch(imo). What great plays to win crazy close OT games and kicking NE's rear end both times. The 90 run with a back up QB and an aging LT was special too.
Yes I’m a raider fan but growing up watching those were my favorite and I felt they were the toughest.
The only 9-7 team to ever win the super bowl!!!
They did it twice
That’s false the Steelers won the Super Bowl at 9-7
@@ryandavid6101 they were 12-4 that year they were one of the best teams in the nfl throughout most of that season i remember that year pretty well. Google before you start typing its that easy.
A 9-7 team winning the SB doesn't say much for the Superbowl, does it.
Could've been the Eagles this year if they didn't let the Saints back in the game :-( I found myself watching this game all of the time late in this past season. Wasn't meant to be repeated this year.
A lot of parallels to this game and the 1990 NFC title game. It is very strange how history repeats itself.
yup. The Giants have been a Nemesis for the 49ers in the Playoffs. But they've been an absolute nightmare for the New England Patriots.
@@penoyer79 the giants got the better of us in sb 42 and 46 but thank god the patriots won 3 more lombardi's ever since then!
penoyer79 *giggle* Folks can go on and on and on about Brady, BUT he lost two SBs to the same team.......that makes my day EVERY DAY!!!! #NYGChick
Not strange at all if you're older than 30.
This game and Super Bowl 46 two weeks later, in my opinion, cemented Eli’s place in the Hall of Fame, stats be damned
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ELI
2 Superbowl wins against all odds both times asking he may not be the greatest quarterback of all time but he has THE most iconic throw in Superbowl history
.. this game is a great example of two things IMO:
1- Eli was most certainly 'elite' and
2- Special teams can kill a team in big games
Seriously? Eli Manning had two good playoff runs and a few decent seasons. He's been nothing since 2012.
regarding number 2 - I just recently saw a video saying that the Chargers had the best ever team to not when a super bowl... and it wasn't the 2006 team. They had a team, one season, that had the top ranked offense AND defense. But their special teams were shitty.
Elite? He couldn’t move the ball in the 2nd half to save his dick unless SF handed the ball to them on a short field
Luke R. the debate during this season was if he was an elite or not the comment above referring to the time that this game happened
CharlieConwayFTW Ya i know it’s not like as if during that season he almost threw for 5000 yards and set the record at the time for 4th qtr comebacks game winning drives and tds...Fucking idiot
Niners had a grown man defense back then
I miss it so bad.
Had kapernick never took a knee none of the controversy against the league would never have happened.
JL King (I know this is an old post, but amazing game).
As a Giants fan,...I’m not gonna lie. I was petrified of that Niners defense. They were soooo damn fast.
I’ve watched it a few times & sometimes it doesn’t even look real. (Looks 3Xs speed).
@Robert Johnson So were the Packers and Patriots little dick offenses too? Because the Giants D shut them down too. Atleast Alex threw a couple touchdowns. Who else did he have to throw to besides Davis and maybe Gore? Crabtree couldn't seperate to save his life in this game.
I missed it bad
This is one of my greatest memories of my life. In 1991 I was 12 and my Dad flew us out to the NFC Championship game in San Fran and we saw the Giants advance to the Super Bowl. In. 20 years later I returned the favor and flew him out for the game where we once again were in attendance to watch the Giants advance to the Super Bowl. I will never forget watching Weatherford and Cruz running around like madmen. Hopefully one day the Giants will be great again and I can witness it with my son.
I love family traditions and yours is a great one!
Unfortunatly it won't be at Candlestick.
Playoffs baby!
Been a Giants fan for thirty years. Never was a fan of the Giants drafting Eli , but this game Eli won my respect. It seemed like he got hit every snap he was beat up and he played well in bad game conditions cold rainy wet field and he showed so much poise in this game. Many QB are better than Eli talent wise but nobody had better poise under pressure than Eli.
Exactly, Eli is a true warrior
it's ironic that Eli was a much better big game quarterback than peyton
They didn't Draft Eli you Dumb buffoon. They traded for him.

Man this was Eli at his greatest and people still and dont give him credit for being great smh didnt flinch once i thought he would be hurt and out of the game in the 4th quarter...
Chris Renshaw Shut the hell up.
Eli played a beast game. He was hit almost 20 times. Threw the ball 54 times with no turnovers
He gets all the credit in the world for what he did but that was how long ago?
He should've had more of a shot at more super bowls but Jerry Reese ran the Giants in the 2010s the same way Obama did with America.
@@OBEYFMH187 Hes older, of course. That's why you have to build around him. Get him to the playoffs and maybe he can do something with his experience in the twilight of his career.
@@yusufabdullah5008 people doubted his tenacity and leadership; I think this game and his SB games demonstrated those qualities
This was my favorite game as a fan period, i knew as soon as we won this game that the Patriots had no chance. i celebrated the superbowl win 2 weeks early at the conclusion of this game.
I had the same amount of confidence for SB46. No way did I think the Giants were losing that one. As for SB42 I had the opposite feeling, felt it was a good playoff run and the Patriots were just unbeatable.
Giantsfan1013 ghg yooooo I did the same shit! I knew the pats couldn't beat us 😭
The difference I felt going into those Super Bowls was that the first time, I believed the Giants could win, while the second time, I believed they would win.
This is still dope years later
A lot of people like to give Eli crap about "oh they got lucky in the Super Bowl". People forget about what they had to do to get there, and the tough road-playoff games Eli and the Giants had to play and come in the clutch to win.
Exactly
best game of Eli's career
I'll Forever Remember This Game As The Greatest Game I've Ever Seen, Especially The Fact That The New York Giants Won!! This Will Forever Be On Record
Best game imo in Eli's career what a game it was
Was pulling for Eli and the Giants the whole way, especially against SF Love you Eli! What a gutsy win!!
That’s awesome that you post classic games like these I love watching football and it’s definitely something to do while facing this pandemic. Thank you!
Eli takes the brutal beating of his life and still manages to win this game. Of course Kyle Williams helped us out as well.
Jon Davis right. And big ben took the Steelers to the playoffs when 2 QBs before him got hurt. If he cant play. He shouldn't be in there.
Jon Davis you said he shouldn't have been in those spots. It's his job. Rookie or not. Steelers QB stepped up. Being a rookie isn't an excuse.
Being a rookie doesn't make you fumble lol. Giants got lucky, plain and simple
Kyle Williams also had a good game returning a punt which set up the tying field goal...
@@blainhockridge6948 We got lucky? How?
2:25:44 eli shows us what a true warrior he is
That's such an underrated play
Elite Eli Manning
best play of his career...shows exactly who he was as a player
This game just goes to show you how much of an x-factor special teams can be.
And also the little things like turnovers, points especially touchdowns off turnovers, third-down conversions, and red zone touchdown efficiency.
This is Eli’s definitive game.
What a difference 6 years makes; from both teams playing for a chance at the Super Bowl to now both teams having a combined 1-17 record.
Niners are back to being elite. The giants not so much
@@highvoltagemedia7150 we back to the playoffs now 😈😈
@@highvoltagemedia7150 Means nothing if you don't finish the deal by winning a Super Bowl.
@@bagboy9039fuck the giants (from a Vikes fan)
Giants and Ravens are the best wild card teams ever.
2010 Packers?
Actually the Giants (2011), and the Ravens (2012) were a 4 seed and we're a conference winner those two years in a row. Now if this was before 2002 (the year they realigned everything to the now 32 teams), yeah both would be wild card.
@@justinturley7071 giants 2007 ravens 2000

I was saying this in general, not specifically one season.
This is the game that typifies the career of Eli Manning. Never easy always under duress. But still overcame the onslaught of a really good defense. Signature Eli.

Connor Smith 🐐
Thank you, I was scrolling for this 😂💯👆
That Manningham td was epic
One thing I've learned about the Giants is that the regular season may sometimes be a struggle, but losing in the post-season is not an option.
The giants have lost a shit ton in the post season with eli wtf are you talking about. Outside of the 2 playoff runs he never won a playoff game for 14 years lol. And he made the playoffs 4 other years
Still has the same amount of superbowl wins as his brother
This game gave me more anxiety than any other Giants game. I didn’t even celebrate when it was over, I was just glad that it ended
I remember this game like it was yesterday! 😁😁what a performance by eli.

I would say this is Eli's best playoff game ever, because of how tough he was. He took such an awful pounding from the relentless SF defense. He just kept getting up. But there were also the 2 SB wins, and the freezeout in GB. Oh yeah, he beat GB twice in the playoffs, at Lambeau, to advance to play Tommy and Bill in the big game, twice. How did that go? Eli and Phil are 1A and 1A as an all time NYG fan. Phil lead us beautifully most of the way towards his second SB. The rest of his team brought it home for him. Also, as a NYG fan , always refer to this as the Devin Thomas Game. He made some clutch plays.
I just watched this game and it was not good for Eli. The stat line was generous. There were many times that Eli got away with mistakes that could have easily cost him the game.
@@tomknapp6194 Stat lines are hypothetical. The truth is, Eli got it done. Very well done.
@@joemamaurmama In 2007 and 2011, the Patriots were averaging 37 and 32 points per game. Please explain what it was about Eli's 17 and 19 points that overcame just the average.
@@tomknapp6194 that would be the Giant's Defense. Pass rush that beat up on Tommy Terrific. To the tune of 18-1. Eli, and the rest of his team, (remember it's a team sport), got it done. In spectacular fashion I might add.
@@joemamaurmama Exactly. Eli didn't do anything that special. If the defense wasn't holding Brady, and multiple other pro bowl QBs, to one of his worst games of the year, what Eli did would most result in double digit losses.
Something to think about. The 2007 and 2011 Giants defense combined for 15.1 points per game and an opposing passer rating of 74. Let's be honest, what QB cannot beat that? And Eli still needed multiple lucky plays for narrow last second wins.
To really put it in perspective. If the giants opposition just put up their average points per game, Eli goes 2-6. And those 2 wins? Over Tampa Bay by less than a point and 2011 Packers by 2. Oh, yeah, Eli scored 37 that game.
The facts are that the Giants face 8 straight playoff teams that were 6-23 points below their season average. Below average every single time. Eli barely win and he's called a playoff genius.
And you say that Eli got it done. Eli had 10 points on drives that started inside the 49ers 30. Outside of that, in 15 drives, he crossed the 50 yard line 2 other times. And he needed 58 attempts for 316 yards and 2 TDs. With that many attempts, a good QB is pushing 500 yards. I don't understand what you are talking about.
What a game. Tynes is the best. Clutch kicker.
Troy kept saying "They do not beat themselves" and then they beat themselves.
Eli was a warrior in this game. Hall of fame drop the mic..
The Giants and 49ers just play amazing games.
i remember this game as being hard hitting and brutal-great game
Troy kept saying, "They don't beat themselves." They beat themselves.
People need to stop blaming Williams for this loss.... The 9ers were 1-13 on third down and their only 1st down was at the end of the game!!! They had two big plays / defensive blunders that gave them points
We blame Kyle Williams because it was Kyle Williams fault. The 49ers were on their way to closing out the game... when he fumbled. TWICE!
This game was over without Kyle
He also had a good return
yeah that's not gonna happen, it was kyle williams fault x 2
The ONLY time the giants scored in the 2nd half were BECAUSE of Williams turnovers, yes the play calling was a fail but make no mistake about it Williams IS the fall guy
Buck: Weatherford hits it, Kyle Williams....MUFFS THE BALL!
I was raging hard when that play happened.
49er WildCat ugh same here but still was proud with how far the niners got that year considering how bad they were before harbaugh and Williams didn't deserve those death threats after the game.
6 sacks, no rushing yards, 55 passes atempts, Giants really puts on Eli Manning hands.
As much as I want to as a, Patriots fan, hate Eli Manning, I can't. He's just tough, Son Of a Bitch, and you know what, how can anyone hate the guy? He's a legit great human being. This NFC Championship Game was amazing in that Manning didn't sustain an ugly injury that could've cost him his career. The beating he took in this game might be the reason why he's struggled since the 2012 season, even though they won the Superbowl 2 weeks after this game. The Giants OLine has been atrocious since 2012.
Love him or hate him, he always found a way to deliver in the big games.
God I love the Giants! Giants Pride baby! All the way!
Eli Manning's finest game as a pro; the Giants had absolutely no business winning this game against a superior team such as the 2011 49ers. This game display of toughness, resolve, and execution should be one of Eli's submissions to the Hall of Fame.
The 'superior" team is the one that wins.
Tyler Brandimarte and his almost decade of garbage after this and the next game should be submissions out of the hall of fame

That was insanely quick for a guy going to the ground. Just let that play go to the end, there was no need for the whistle there.
10000% definitely a lost play in playoff history
Eli's signature game imo
Eli needed a wheelbarrow to carry his balls out of the stadium with him after this game. Tough as nails and kept on taking the hits. We had a good oline so it's not like he got hit like this every week!!! He couldn't practice for these kind of hits and for him to not get thrown off his game is incredible!! Absolutely incredible performance by number 10. Talk about Mr. Cool Miss him and these days of Giants football.

If you’re a life-long Giants fan, you probably always were a huge Eli fan but this particular game is when he became a legend and an immortal Giant. This is where Eli put himself in the pantheon of the greatest Giants ever. What a gutsy performance.
The game that really got me into football as a kid
I'm not a 49ers fan, but I missed the Harbaugh days.
Me too
They look to be doin alright now
I miss that defense and I miss Frank Gore. I don't miss that clusterfuck of a passing offense. I don't miss the penalties. I don't miss the offense pissing itself every time it went to Seattle. and i definitely do not miss the choking in the post season.
@@penoyer79 I don't miss the Harbaugh drama. I'm over it. Go Niners, drub them Chiefs !
Congratulations Jim harbaugh is now the head coach of the chargers
Kyle Williams fumbling the ball in OT was one of the greatest moments of my life watching Giants football. Absolutely beautiful.
I argue Greg Roman's bonehead play calls that made the 49ers very inept on third-down and in the red zone in the 2011 NFC title game is one of my greatest moments.
Thank you for posting this
21 years after the 1990 NFC Championship Game, we are back inside Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California, in what will be the Final Playoff Game ever inside the storied stadium. You couldn't ask for 2 better teams, the Giants and 49ers. Eli Manning and the Flu Game. He had a 103 fever a few days earlier and still managed to pull this off! "Iron Man Eli", indeed!
Kyle Williams, you definitely no longer have the biggest choke in 49ers history.
That belongs to Darrell Luter Jr. and Ray Ray McCloud III in SB 58 against the Chiefs.
There's a lot of niners moments between them and now that are contenders
Nice revenge from the 2002 wild card game
That 2002 game still gives me heartburn. Yes we blew the lead but Shockey's jersey was being ripped off of him. No call was complete b.s.
So beautiful to watch
Eli Manning's signature game!
I really miss these kinds of championship games where defense were just unstoppable.
One if not the greatest game of all time. Let's go Giants!
I'm a lifelong Redskin, but Eli's courage in this game is second only to Doug Williams in the '88 Super Bowl.
This was a great era of the NFL as far as big games went. The two upsets of the Giants over THE PATRIOTS, for example, displayed the 'don't give up' mentality of all of football in the years ahead. Success on JUST A FEW big plays is akin to a late inning homerun by a Bucky Dent TYPE that eventually wins for his team in a playoff game. That's the Eli Giants of that great era.
Wow. Watching this I totally forgot that fire Eli had in him back then in games.
really? You forgot? This was in 2012 not 1956
Its gotta rip your guts out knowing your mistake helped your team lose a champ game!! My heart goes out to #10.
At least Kyle Williams had the last laugh on the 49er fans who gave him death threats after the 2011 NFC title game with a Super Bowl ring in 2015.
The 49er fans should directed their death threats on Greg Roman.
He did it on purpose
@@mrwhite5511 yeah ok
@@mrwhite5511Nah. It was Greg Roman's fault.
THANK U SM UR THE BEST UPLOAD MORR 49ER GAMES PLZ FROM 2011 2012
Who thinks that Eli is a HOFer? Alex Smith has had a career full of highs and lows.
I love how football has been deemed “the ultimate team sport” but yet weigh EVERYTHING on rings when it comes to QBs
I don’t care what anyone says, Eli should be in the hall of fame. He qualifies based on yards past and the fact that he excelled in big games especially the superbowls. Troy Aikman made it and he was just a game manager who handed the ball to Emmit Smith. He was just on a good team but was never the centerpiece of the offense. The fate of the Giants was dependent on Eii Eli excelled in this game. He got absolutely demolished by the SF d-line but persevered . Look at 2:25:44, that is the mark of a warrior.
THIS GAME WAS CLASSIC ELI MANNING SHOWED A HEART OF GOLD AND HE WAS RIGHT WE CAN WIN IT AT THE END
I think 18-1 already proved that lol but yeah
Best game I’ve ever seen from Eli. Solid QB for us for years.
This game and the Green Bay one is easily top ten games of all time. Same with both super bowls for Eli
Thanks for posting !! Go GIANTS !!
thx 4 d upload bro, ur d real mvp!
Still so heartbreaking, but still go Niners all day
thank You Eli......... Best game ever by a qb. fucking cant believe its over
This was a great playoffs in general. This game, the Super Bowl, Tebow and Broncos upsetting the Steelers, Patriots squeezing past Ravens and the classic Saints/49ers game. Plus for defensive fans the Texans/Ravens was a tough fought game. Great stuff
Kyle Williams got the last laugh on 49er fans when he returned to the Bay Area and won a Super Bowl ring with the Denver Broncos in SB 50 at Levi's Stadium.
Ditto for Vernon Davis.
2:27:19 is a mood
Didn’t realize how terrible that snap on last fg was. Great job by holder to handle it and place ball
Will history repeat itself 😳😳😳
