The NFC Championship Game on Sunday promises to be a bruising affair. Both the Giants and the 49ers pride themselves on tough defense and, with rain in the forecast, expect the game to be decided in the trenches.
Safety Deon Grant is one of the leaders for New York’s defense and his squad will be looking to shut down a San Francisco offense that put 36 points on the board in beating New Orleans last week.
Grant spoke with NFL Insider hosts Mark Malone and Steve Tasker about the task of putting the heat on Alex Smith and the 49ers offense.
