The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants put on a pretty epic performance in Sunday evening's NFC Championship game, but it was the visiting team that left Candlestick Park on top. Lawrence Tynes hit a game-winning field goal in overtime following a special teams' blunder as the Giants advanced to the Super Bowl to face the New England Patriots.

The video highlights weren't as exciting as they have been in some games featuring these two teams as only 37 points were scored in a game that went well into overtime, but they're embedded below in case anyone was unable to watch the game.

Lawrence Tynes wasn't talked about much on television following the game, but he has to be cementing his place as one of the top kickers in professional football as he's now kicked two game-winners to force the Giants into the Super Bowl.
