GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Booed off the field at halftime by their fans, the collapse of the once-perfect Green Bay Packers was as swift as it was complete.

The defending Super Bowl champions looked anything but in Sunday's 37-20 playoff loss to New York, dropping passes, fumbling the ball and letting Eli Manning and the Giants rule every inch of Lambeau Field.

And all the talk about Aaron Rodgers having one of the finest seasons in NFL history? Check with Manning on that. He's the one getting it done in the postseason.

The Giants now advance to next weekend's NFC championship against the San Francisco 49ers. The Packers, meanwhile, will be cleaning out their lockers for an offseason that came unexpectedly early. As the final seconds ticked down, chants of "Let's Go, Giants!" echoed throughout Lambeau.

The Packers have no one to blame but themselves for the dismal finish to a season that started with such promise, when they stretched the winning streak they started last year to 19 games. Their defense, maligned all season for its penchant for giving up big plays, was even worse than advertised. It was powerless to stop Manning, who threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns and coolly moved the Giants down the field drive after drive. UNC alum Hakeem Nicks made the secondary look downright silly with 165 yards receiving and two touchdowns, one of which he plucked out of the air above a scrum of Green Bay defenders just before halftime, prompting Packer fans to boo as their team trotted of the field.

Rodgers finished 26-of-46 for 264 yards, and his quarterback rating of 78.5 was well off his 122.5 for the regular-season, an NFL record.
