The Giants are the third team to ever win three road games in advancing to the Superbowl. The first was our own beloved Patriots in 1985. The second was the 2005 Steelers. One of the previous two won the SB. One got waxed. Both had impressive victories with the Pats travelling to MIA and pulling off a huge upset against a team they had never beaten in MIAHere's the tale-of-the-tape for all three teams. My question to Patsfans is; Are these Giants more '85 Pats or '05 Steelers?
