NEW YORK — The NFC East is built on storied rivalries and Saturday night’s NFC divisional round playoff clash between two teams separated by less than 100 miles down the Jersey Turnpike provides plenty of ill-will and history to draw from.
This will be the 179th meeting between the franchises — only one fewer than the total the Giants have played against Washington — including four playoff games.
The rivalry brings up more heartache for Giants fans and former players (Joe Pisarcik is known to dread it when his phone starts buzzing around this time).
