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.
