Hello Falcons fans! My name is Will and I'm the unofficial representative of BBV and Giant fans of the interwebz.
I'm sure you were all doing some TV scouting, as Mike Smith called it. As Giant fans, we've been waiting all season for a game like that. Without a doubt, that was our most complete game of the season.
Of course, the Falcons are coming off an even more impressive blowout vs the Buccaneers. If anything, this game should hopefully be a good one. Here are some stats:
This will be the first playoff game between the two teams. The falcons are 1-5 vs NFC East teams in the playoffs, beating the Eagles in their first ever playoff game in 1978 followed by defeat to the Cowboys.
All time, the Giants and Falcons have a 10-10 head to head record.The Falcons won the first two games between the two in 1966 and 1968.

Matt Ryan is 0-1 vs the Giants.
Tom Coughlin is 5-1 vs the Falcons, including two wins as the HC of the Jaguars.
