Halftime: GB, 10-6

Packers start the second quarter with an incomplete pass on third down, Brett Favre to James Jones.

If you're counting: that makes three offensive series for the Packers, no points and little forward progress, Favre 5 for 8 for 20 yards, Ryan Grant three carries for all of seven yards.

Big play on the next series for the Giants, a 16-yard catch and run by Plaxico Burress, who fumbles going down -- the ball going out of bounds, the Giants getting the ball at the Packer 17.

Another Tynes field goal makes it 6-0 Giants with 11:46 to go in the quarter, this one from 37 yards.

On the kickoff, the Packers' Koren Robinson sees the ball go right through his hands. Again, the balls must feel like cement blocks. The Packers recover, at their own 10.

So what does Brett Favre do? 90 yards down the right sideline, touchdown, to Donald Driver, who has no trouble holding on, kicking up snow as he goes while outrunning three guys -- Corey Webster, who had an angle, as well as Gibil Wilson and James Butler.

The pass marks the longest completed pass in Packer post-season history. And now the crowd is alive: "Go, Pack, go!"

It's the 18th consecutive playoff game Favre has thrown a TD pass. That extends his own NFL record.

The crowd, they announce in the press box, is the largest in Lambeau history: paid attendance of 72,740. Who knew there were that many astronaut diapers for sale in all of Wisconsin? What are these people planning to do for a bathroom break? No way you brave removal of any of the layers, is there?

The Giants get the ball back and on third down, Packer safety Atari Bigby makes a highlight-reel hit on Plaxico Burresss. Pro that he is, though -- Burress holds on for a first down.

Another third-down play: Amani Toomer can't hold on.

The Packers get the ball back at their own 22, move it to the Giants' 44. Favre goes deep for Ruvell Martin. He's no Donald Driver. The ball goes through his hands.

Giants start at their 7. They go nowhere. Jeff Feagles has to punt from the end zone. I mean, what can you expect? A 37-yard punt. Packers get the ball, with plenty of time before half, at the Giants' 47.

Green Bay appears to go three and out, squandering the opportunity -- but an illegal contact penalty on Giant rookie Michael Johnson, trying to cover Driver, gives the Packers a fresh set of downs.

Two plays later, Favre finds Driver for 20 yards, to the New York 21. Three plays later, Mason Crosby boots a 36-yard field goal. 10-6, Packers.

Give the Giants credit. They do not lay down. Eli Manning goes for it long down the right side, and Burress hauls it in, a 32-yard play, good to the Packer 36.

Manning goes for it again -- but, almost at the goal line, Burress can not hold on.

No way Tynes can kick a 50-ish yard field goal. So the Giants go for it on 4th and 8, the ball on the 34.

Sack, by A.J. Hawk, and the Packers get the ball with five seconds to go.

Do the Packers go for it? No. Favre kneels.

And it's a race to get off the field. 'Cuz it's stupid cold out there.
