Quick note on special teams - the combined ages of these two kickers is 86 - does the '08 Giants have the oldest combined K/P in NFL history?  And both of them made the Pro Bowl.  New York's top 5 in both offense and defense; Eli's 27, 21 scores and 10 picks. Brandon Jacobs is on the bench of that Niners team who just advanced, 4 years prior he's the lead back for New York, 15 rushing touchdowns. Justin Tuck is 25, he had a dozen sacks and was an All Pro, as was the RG Chris Snee
