Following a wild weekend of football, the 2023 AFC Championship Game and 2023 NFC Championship Game are officially set.
The Baltimore Ravens will play host to the Kanas City Chiefs on the AFC side of things. That game will have a distinct New York Giants flavor at the wide receiver position with a familiar face also running the Chiefs’ defense.
Over in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers will host the Detroit Lions, who are busy erasing the past and creating a new story for themselves. They, of course, are led by a former Giant.
In total, 18 former coaches and players who have passed through the Giants organization will partake in the championship festivities next Sunday. Here’s a look at each of them.
