Patriots-Giants Rivalry Goes Back 40 Years With History of Tight, Dramatic Battles (Timeline)Although they’ve squared off almost 30 times in the preseason, the Patriots and Giants have only battled it out a total of 10 meaningful times — some more meaningful than the others.

The Pats and G-Men first met in 1970 when the Boston Patriots were shut out by the Giants 16-0 at Harvard Stadium. Since then, it’s been an up and down ride for both clubs — full of record-breaking plays, Super Bowl drama and classic Boston-New York rivalry battles.

Six of the 10 games have been decided by four points or fewer, including the last three in a row. With the all-time head to head record knotted at five wins apiece, Super Bowl XLVI will be the ultimate rubber match.
