The Giants beat the Packers 23-20 in overtime in an NFC championship game on Jan. The Packers won all those games except for 1938. The Packers faced the Giants in the NFL championship in 1938, 1939, 1944, 19. The Giants had won the previous three meetings before the Packers’ current streak. That includes a 38-13 home victory in a wild-card playoff game on Jan. The Packers have won their past three matchups with the Giants. Packers CB Jaire Alexander (groin) missed the Patriots game, but was practicing on a limited basis this week. Packers S Adrian Amos left the Patriots game to be evaluated for a head injury. Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is on injured reserve and will miss a second straight game. Giants OT Evan Neal (neck) should play and WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) are close to returning after missing last week. There is concern about Giants LB Azeez Ojulari (calf) and DL Leonard Williams (knee). Giants CB Cor’Dale Flott (calf), WR Kenny Golladay (knee) and DL Henry Mondeaux (ankle) probably won’t play. Giants backup QB Tyrod Taylor and S Julian Love are in the concussion protocol and uncertain to play. Giants QB Daniel Jones sprained his left ankle against the Bears, but practiced on a limited basis Wednesday. (Bill Kostroun | AP Photo/Bill Kostroun) KEY INJURIES: New York Giants' Saquon Barkley (26), second fromm right, runs the ball during the first half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Dec. Barkley’s a much more dangerous runner than Montgomery or anyone on the Patriots roster.
Chicago’s David Montgomery rushed for 122 yards on just 15 carries at Green Bay earlier this season. Packers run defense: The Packers allowed New England to rush for 167 yards and average 5.1 yards per carry. He’s the first Packer to have a sack in each of the first four weeks of a season since Cullen Jenkins in 2010. OLB Rashan Gary has five sacks and has had at least one in each of the Packers’ four games.
He’s just 130 yards away from matching his 2021 season rushing total. He’s gaining 5.5 yards per carry, way up from his average of 3.7 yards per rush last season. RB Saquon Barkley has an NFL-high 463 yards rushing and is coming off a 146-yard performance against the Bears. While having Green Bay as a home market is obvious, fans in the Cream City catch a break because of the days, decades ago, when the Packers would play three home games a season at the County Stadium. In Wisconsin, that means the game will be broadcast in the Green Bay and Milwaukee areas, on WLUK-TV and WTMJ-TV, respectively.
