New York Giants Tickets
2007 Recap
The New York Giants entered the season with questions and doubts about QB Eli Manning and left it with a Super Bowl trophy with Manning as the MVP. The Giants recovered from an early season 0-2 start to win six straight and found consistency after finishing the season 4-4 in the final eight games.
The team rallied around QB Eli Manning after an up and down season that had him throw 23 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. Manning played brilliantly in the playoffs throwing six touchdowns and only one interception. Manning’s favorite target all season long was Plxico Burress, who led the team with 70 receptions, 1025 yards, and 12 touchdowns. The running game was led by power back Brandon Jacobs, who replaced Derrick Ward after a mid-season injury. The Giants are expected to try and bolster the defense which gave up almost 22 points a game. The team has already signed LB Danny Clark and S Sammy Knight to do so.
Team History
The New York Football Giants joined the NFL in 1925 and have seven titles since, with four before the Super Bowl and three since. The storied franchise has 15 Hal of Fame players, including QB Y.A. Tittle, LB Lawrence Taylor, and HB Frank Gifford.
The franchise was a perennial title contender before the Super Bowl, but struggled after it was first introduced, having only two winning seasons between 1964 and 1978. The 1980s saw the team start its climb to the top, which began with the drafting of Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor and ended in Super Bowls in 1986 and 1990. The Giants struggled after Simms and Taylor retired in the 90s and eventually became a competitor at the turn of the century, playing in Super Bowl XXXV and winning the trophy in 2007.
