Notes: The NFL Network is reporting that QB Eli Manning has earned a $250,000 bonus for each playoff win and stands to make another $500,000 if the Giants win on Sunday against the Packers.
The Giants are just the sixth team since the 1970 merger to reach a conference championship game after starting a season 0-2.
40.1 million television viewers watched the Giants-Cowboys playoff game last Sunday. It was the most-watched Divisional Round playoff game since January 5, 1997, when 42.7 million people watched the Cowboys and Carolina Panthers. It also was the most-watched show on television since the Academy Awards attracted 40.2 million viewers on February 25, 2007.
