8: Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has eight plays of 25 yards or longer against the Packers, including three in their 2011 divisional playoff game. His six touchdowns and 423 receiving yards in just four games are the most by any Giant against Green Bay, including postseason.

1: In 58 total meetings over 85 years, there has been only one overtime game between the Giants and Packers.
