Hanging tough in the 2011 NFC Championship
This game solidified Manning’s toughness as the Niners defense hit him 12 times and sacked him six times. Alas, Manning was able to get back up time and again to go 32-of-58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns including the go-ahead score to Mario Manningham with under 10-minutes left in the fourth quarter.
However, the Niners were able to tie things up 17-17, which saw the game go into overtime. After Kyle Williams fumbled the return for the second time of the night, this set the Giants and Lawrence Tynes up for a game-winning field goal, which sent them back to the Super Bowl.
