In 2007, Webster was limited to

NFC Championship game, sending the Giants to Super Bowl XLII.[5] This turned out to be Brett Favre
's last pass as a Packer.

2008

In Super Bowl XLII, Webster provided a huge performance through the first three quarters. However, on the go-ahead Patriots scoring drive, he fell down, which allowed New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss to score an easy touchdown on a key third down play, putting the Patriots up 14-10 with less than three minutes to go in the game. But, he came back to deflect a pass from Tom Brady to Randy Moss on the next drive to prevent the Patriots from scoring, and all but securing the Super Bowl victory.

On December 14, 2008, the New York Giants gave him a 5-year $43.5 million deal with $20 million guaranteed.[6]

Webster suffered a

hip flexor and was questionable for the September 22, 2013, game against the Carolina Panthers.[11]
