question: Who did the New York Giants lose to in the NFC wild card game in the 83rd regular season of the National Football League?
answer: San Francisco
context: Title: 2007 New York Giants season
  Passage: The 2007 New York Giants season was the 83rd season for the New York Giants in the National Football League.  The Giants finished the regular season 10–6 and in second place in the NFC East, improving upon their 8–8 record in 2006 in which they finished third in their division.  They qualified for the playoffs as a wild-card team as the #5 seed, and beat the #4 seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9–7), the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys (13–3), and the #2 seed Green Bay Packers (13–3) to become the National Football Conference representative in Super Bowl XLII.  There, they defeated the heavily favored and previously undefeated 18–0 New England Patriots and spoiled their perfect season.  The 2007 New York Giants became the 9th wild card team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl and the 5th wild card team to win the Super Bowl, and the very first NFC wild card to accomplish the feat.  They were the third team in history to win three road playoff games en route to a Super Bowl and set a league record for most consecutive road wins in a single season (11), though the Super Bowl is played on a neutral field rather than an opponent's stadium.  It was the 7th league championship season for the New York Giants and their first since they won Super Bowl XXV in 1991.
  Title: 1988 NFL season
  Passage: The 1988 NFL season was the 69th regular season of the National Football League.  The Cardinals relocated from St. Louis, Missouri to the Phoenix, Arizona area becoming the Phoenix Cardinals but remained in the NFC East division.  Playoff races came down to the season's final day, with the Seattle Seahawks winning the AFC West by one game, and the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers winning their respective divisions in a five-way tie, with the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants losing the NFC Wild Card berth to the Los Angeles Rams on tiebreakers.
  Title: 2013 Green Bay Packers season
  Passage: The Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 94th season in the National Football League, the 95th overall and the eighth under head coach Mike McCarthy.  The Packers came into the 2013 season looking to win the NFC North for the 3rd year in a row.  They were coming off a 45-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs.  The Packers started the 2013 season with a rematch with the 49ers in San Francisco.  They lost the game 34-28.  After winning their home opener against the Redskins, they lost 34-30 in Cincinnati to the Bengals after they had a 30-14 lead in the 3rd quarter.  After the loss, the Packers would win 4 games in a row to sit at 5-2 before losing a Monday Night game at home to the Bears 27-20.  In that game, the Packers would lose star quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone in the 1st quarter.  He would be replaced by Scott Tolzien and sometimes Matt Flynn.  In week 12, the Packers tied the Vikings 26-26.  It was Green Bay's first tie since 1987.  The Packers would lose the next game 40-10 to the Lions on Thanksgiving to sit at 5-6-1, and looking like being on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008.  The Packers would then beat the Falcons 22-21 to even their record at 6-6-1.  The following week, the Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 in Dallas after they had trailed 26-3 at halftime.  The comeback was the largest in franchise history.  The Packers would then lose a shootout with the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-31 at home to sit at 7-7-1, the first meeting between the teams since Super Bowl XLV.  The next week, the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 33-28 at Soldier Field to clinch the NFC North in a game in which the winner would've clinched the division.  The game was famously well known for a touchdown catch made by Randall Cobb from Aaron Rodgers with less than a minute remaining to seal the win.  The play came on a 4th and 8 situation in which Cobb was wide open near the endzone.  The Packers entered the playoffs as the 4 seed in the NFC.  In the wild card game, they lost 23-20 in a rematch with the 49ers on a Phil Dawson field goal as time expired.  The game was one of the coldest in NFL playoff history, with a final temperature of 5 °F (-15 °C)
  Title: 1986 Washington Redskins season
  Passage: The 1986 Washington Redskins began with the team trying to improve on their 10–6 record from 1985 and return to the playoffs after missing them the previous year.  The Redskins finished with a 12–4 record, good for second place in the NFC East, and qualified for the playoffs as a wild card.  They defeated the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card Game at RFK Stadium, then upset the defending champion Chicago Bears in the Divisional Playoffs.  The season came to an end in the NFC Championship Game when the Redskins were defeated by their division rivals, the New York Giants.
  Title: 1990 New Orleans Saints season
  Passage: The 1990 New Orleans Saints season was the franchise's 24th season in the National Football League, the 15th to host games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the fifth under head coach Jim Mora.  The team looked to improve on its 9-7 record from 1989 and make the playoffs for the second time in franchise history.  The Saints did not improve on their 9-7 record, as they finished the season 8-8.  However, the Saints would unexpectedly make the postseason as the final seed in the NFC Playoff Picture.  No other non-playoff teams in the NFL had a record above or below .500 during the season, and thus the Saints were awarded the final seed in the playoffs.  The Saints became the 5th team in NFL history and first since the merger to finish the season with a .500 record or lower and make the playoffs.  They were also the first team to do it since the NFL schedule extended to 16 games.  This would later on be accomplished by the 1991 Jets and 2011 Broncos.  However, the 2010 Seahawks would break this record, as they finished the 2010 season at 7-9 and clinched their division, becoming the first team in NFL history to win their division despite having a losing record.  Ironically, the Saints during that same season saw Seattle in that season's NFC Wild Card game, a game in which they were upset 41-36 on Marshawn Lynch's famous Beastquake play.  In the postseason, they would lose to the Chicago Bears 16-6.
  Title: 2014 National League Wild Card Game
  Passage: The 2014 National League Wild Card Game was a play-in game during Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2014 postseason played between the National League's (NL) two wild card teams, the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates.  It was held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 1, 2014, starting at 8:07 p.m. EDT.  After both teams finished the regular season with identical records of 88–74, the Pirates were awarded home field for the game, as they won the season series against the Giants, four games to two.  Despite this advantage, the Giants won by a score of 8–0 and advanced to play the Washington Nationals in the NL Division Series.  In addition to being the third NL Wild Card Game played, it is notable for the first postseason grand slam hit by a shortstop.  The game was televised on ESPN, and was also broadcast on ESPN Radio.
  Title: 2002 NFL season
  Passage: The 2002 NFL season was the 83rd regular season of the National Football League.
  Title: 2002 New York Giants season
  Passage: The 2002 New York Giants season was the team's 78th season in the National Football League.  The team improved upon their previous season's 7–9 disappointment, winning ten games and returning to the playoffs for the second time in three years, ending the season on a four-game winning streak.  After a midseason slump, head coach Jim Fassel stripped offensive coordinator Sean Payton of playcalling duties, and the Giants went on to a winning streak that would carry them to the playoffs.  Leading 35–14 in the third quarter of the NFC wild card came at San Francisco, Jeremy Shockey dropped a touchdown pass forcing a field goal to make the score 38–14.  Fassel decided to rest starting running back Tiki Barber to save him for the next round, but the 49ers gained momentum, and the Giants did not score again, losing the game 39–38.  Following the season, Payton was not retained; he won the Super Bowl seven years later as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
