the giants became only the fourth team to win the super bowl without playing a single home game in the preceding playoffs. they joined the green bay packers (who won super bowl i against the kansas city chiefs), the kansas city chiefs (who won super bowl iv against the minnesota vikings) and the pittsburgh steelers (who won super bowl xl against the seattle seahawks) in accomplishing this feat. however, green bay had to win two games, kansas city three, and pittsburgh and the giants, four, in order to accomplish this. since, the green bay packers accomplished it in 2010 by winning three road playoff games en route to their super bowl xlv victory over the pittsburgh steelers. however, the packers accomplished this feat as a sixth seed, while the giants accomplished this as a fifth seed. in addition, green bay beat the top three-seeded teams on the road, while new york defeated the fourth, first, and second seeds on the road.

barack obama said if the bears won the nfc championship, that he would see them play in super bowl xlv, but he would not see green bay. woodson sent obama a jersey saying, "see you at the white house!" and had a pep talk in the locker room. he told the team if the president did not want to see the packers play in the super bowl then they would go to the white house. the packers won the super bowl. however, they could not visit the white house until august because of the terms in the nfl lockout. when they visited the white house, obama made reference to woodson's pep rally and autographed jersey. woodson responded by handing barack obama a certificate stating that obama is a minority owner of the packers. obama also said, "i have learned something that many quarterbacks have learned. don't mess with charles woodson."
