New York Giants
The New York Giants are members of the East Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League.
The team played its first game in 1925, the same year the franchise was incorporated into the NFL, and the Giants are currently one of the oldest teams in the league. The franchise is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with the team playing its home games at the Giants Stadium.
Throughout the years the Giants have had several nicknames, including the “G-Men”, “Big Blue”, “Road Warriors” and “Jints”.
With seven titles – four Super Bowls and three NFL titles – the Giants are third in the NFL for most overall titles. The Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers take the first two positions. The Giants have also won ten conference titles along with 15 division championships.
As the Giants claimed the 2007 Super Bowl, the New York team had high expectations for the 2008 season.
The team managed a 12-4 regular season record and won the NFC East; however, the Giants lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round of the playoffs.
The New York Giants finished 2009 with an even record 8-8, where they continued with their tradition of ruining the party of teams with stadium-opening games, as they added their sixth road win in a row in this type of games versus the Dallas Cowboys. Quarteback Eli Manning’s 4,021 passing yards made him the third Cowboy -Kerry Collins 4,073 and Phil Simms 4,044- in history to achieve it. It was also Manning’s fifth 3,000+ yards and 20+ touchdown consecutive season..
