The New York Giants face a huge task in trying to move New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork out of the way. The 325-pound Wilfork will be ending another strong season in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. He made the Pro Bowl for the fourth time in eight seasons. Coach Bill Belichick says Wilfork has improved over his outstanding 2010 season. Wilfork says every chance a player gets to play in the Super Bowl is the biggest game of his career no matter how many others he's been to. The Patriots got there with a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game in which Wilfork had six tackles and a sack. Wilfork has been primarily a nose tackle but also played end this season.
