Date/Time: Wed, Aug 29 / 07:30:00 PM ET, Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New JerseyA rematch of Super Bowl XLVI will be held this Wednesday, August 29th when the current NFL Champions, the New York Giants, welcome the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots at the Giants Stadium.
For most football fans, the annual NFL preseason has little or no relevance, but for these two teams, this game has a different meaning. The two squads, which met for the last time at Super Bowl XLVI, won't meet this season, so unless destiny finds a way to match them at a third Super Bowl game, this is the only time we'll see the Pats playing against the Giants.
In addition, Wednesday night’s game marks the 22nd time these two teams meet in the preseason and the eighth straight time they play the final game of the preseason. Giants and Pats played three times during the 2011-12 season (a preseason match, Week 9 regular season and in Super Bowl XLVI), with New York prevailing in all three games. The Giants beat their long time rivals 18-17 in the preseason-finale at Gillette Stadium on September 1, 2011 and then put an end to a 20-game home winning streak in the regular season with a 24-20 regular season victory on Nov. 6, 2011 also at Gillette Stadium.
But the biggest victory of the season came on February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, when the Giants, leaded by QB Eli Manning, won their 4th Super Bowl title in the franchise history and beat the Patriots by the score of 21–17. The game was also a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, when the Giants spoiled New England's perfect 2007 season with a 17–14 victory.
