grateful blueGIANTS FOOTBALL & GOOD COMPANYWe cared just as much when the score went the wrong way. Twelve title-game losses, the seasons that got us there, and the chances we still think about.
Kerry Collins, Ron Dixon, and the what-if I still carry from Super Bowl XXXV.
Read the 2000 season →Years identify the season. The 2000 season’s Super Bowl was played in January 2001. All scores list the Giants first.
The Giants were there when the NFL’s championship-game tradition began. They nearly brought the first one home.
A third straight championship appearance. A strong finish to the season. Detroit ended the title defense.
A 9–1–1 season brought the defending champions back to face Green Bay. The second half took the title out of reach.
Two weeks after Pearl Harbor, the Giants and Bears met at Wrigley Field. New York stayed level into the third quarter.
Five regular-season shutouts brought the Giants to another final. The defense kept the chance alive; Green Bay protected a seven-point lead.
From a losing season to another Eastern title. The Giants erased a fourteen-point deficit before Chicago finished the game.
Football remembers a landmark. Giants fans also get to remember a lead, a last chance, and the championship that got away.
The Giants came back for a rematch and took a lead into the fourth. Baltimore scored twenty-four points before the afternoon was over.
Allie Sherman, Y.A. Tittle, and another trip to the championship. Green Bay took command of the final.
Twelve wins, a record-setting quarterback, and a bitter afternoon at Yankee Stadium. The Giants stayed within reach against Green Bay.
A record season, an injured knee, and one last chance against Chicago. The third straight trip to the final ended four points short.
I loved Kerry Collins against Minnesota. Two weeks later, the Super Bowl was hard to watch. Both games belong to the story of this team.
A game you watched. A story somebody passed down. Tell us what you remember.
