Devastation

Giants make third Super Bowl with record-setting rout

Perhaps the Giants acquired a copy of the Vikings' playbook and liked what they saw. Perhaps the teams mistakenly switched jerseys prior to the game. Perhaps the Vikings' offense finally met its match defensively. No question about it -- the Giants are the best team in the NFC. New York dominated Minnesota 41-0 behind Kerry Collins' NFC title game record-tying five touchdown passes to advance to Super Bowl XXXV in Tampa.
