With a 24-point lead midway through the 2000 NFC Championship Game’s second quarter, Tiki Barber and the Giants made it clear that they had no plans of being caught on-field, nor on the scoreboard. The 41-0 victory over the Minnesota Vikings didn’t require a groundbreaking box score from the Giants’ soon-to-be superstar, but Barber was both efficient and electrifying nonetheless, as evidenced through a powerful 21-yard tote that enlivened the Big Apple crowd. Barber’s ticket to Super Bowl XXXV was sealed on Jan. 14, 2001 through a performance that included 69 rushing yards (on 12 attempts), and a four-catch, 21-yard complement as a receiver.
