With the second selection in the draft. New York chose Lawrence Taylor, a linebacker from North Carolina. The Giants started slowly, going 2-3, before obtaining running back Rob Carpenter from Houston. Carpenter sparked a three-game winning streak. The Giants lost three straight to drop to 5-6. Second-year quarterback Scott Brunner replaced an injured Phil Simms and the team responded with four victories in the final five weeks, including a 13-10 overtime defeat of Dallas in the season finale that sent them into the playoffs for he first time in 18 years. On December 27, the Giants defeated the Eagles 27-21 in the NFC wild card game. The season ended for New York on January 3 when it was defeated by the 49ers 38-24 in a divisional playoff game.

The club's first Super Bowl championship, an all-time final record of 17-2, as well as a club record 12 straight victories, made this year the greatest in team history to date. The Giants also set a record for all-time composite margin of victory in the playoffs, outscoring three opponents 105-23, for an 82-point domination, the most ever in NFL playoff history. Phil Simms was the MVP of the 39-20 Super Bowl victory over Denver after completing a playoff record 88% of his passes (22-25). Lawrence Taylor was named the league's MVP, Joe Morris broke his own club rushing record with 1,516 yards, and eight players—Taylor, Morris, Harry Carson, Leonard Marshall, Jim Burt, Brad Benson, Mark Bavaro and Sean Landeta, were named to the Pro Bowl. Coach Bill Parcells was a unanimous NFL Coach of the Year in all the national polls, the Giants were 10-0 at home, including regular season and the two playoff games, and the team set attendance records at home and on the road.

With Phil Simms enjoying his first full season at quarterback and linebacker Carl Banks emerging as a rookie, the Giants earned the NFC Wild Card playoff berth, finishing with a 9-7 mark and second place in the NFC East. Simms set three single-season club records with 286 completions in 533 attempts for 4,044 yards. The Giants knocked off the Los Angeles Rams 16-13 in that wild card game, then bowed to the eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers 21-10 in the divisional playoff. Taylor, Carson and Haynes were again named to the Pro Bowl, while head coach Bill Parcells was named NFC East Coach of the Year and five rookies—Karl Nelson, Gary Reasons, Carl Banks, Perry Williams and Bobby Johnson–were named to the All-NFL Rookie team.

With a final 10-6 mark, the Giants put back-to-back winning seasons on the board for the first time in 22 years, won another trip to the playoffs and had their first home playoff game since 1962, winning 17-3 over the defending Super Bowl champion 49ers. Again, the club lost in the divisional playoffs to the eventual Super Bowl champion team, the Chicago Bears, 21-0. Five players -- Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Phil Simms, Joe Morris and Leonard Marshall -- were named to the Pro Bowl. There were 12 team records set by this club, and 16 individual club records. Morris set team records with 1,336 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns. Simms set club marks with 40 completions and 513 passing yards in a game. Marshall added another club mark with 15.5 QB sacks in a season, while rookie TE Mark Bavaro, an All-NFL Rookie team choice set a club mark with 12 receptions in one game.

The Giants started the season by winning their first ten games, and eventually won the division with a 13-3 record despite losing Phil Simms late in the year. With Jeff Hostetler at the helm, the club surged through the playoffs to win their second Super Bowl title with a stirring 20-19 win over the Buffalo Bills. Seven Giant players were named to the Pro Bowl, including Lawrence Taylor for a record-setting 10th straight year. Veteran running back Ottis Anderson won Super Bowl MVP honors after rushing for 102 yards.

Despite the loss of several starters due to injuries, the Giants won their second NFC East championship in four years with a 12-4 record. Ottis Anderson rushed for 1,023 yards at the age of 32 as the replacement for the injured Joe Morris and rookie David Meggett set club marks with 582 punt return yards and a 12.7 average, while also accounting for 1,807 all-purpose yards. Linebacker Lawrence Taylor equaled an NFL record by being named to his ninth consecutive Pro Bowl, and also ran his league record sack total to 104. Meggett also went to the Pro Bowl and scored a touchdown

Dan Reeves and a rejuvenated Phil Simms led the Giants to an 11-5 regular season record. Reeves became the first Giants head coach to lead his team to the playoffs in his initial campaign since Allie Sherman in 1963. Reeves was selected as NFL Coach of the Year by several organizations, including the Associated Press.

The Giants enjoyed their finest season in a decade, winning the NFC East and home-field advantage in the playoffs with a 12-4 record before defeating Philadelphia and Minnesota to advance to Super Bowl XXXV. The highlight of the season was a 41-0 victory over Minnesota in the NFC Championship game at Giants Stadium.

An exciting and rewarding season concluded with the Giants winning their final four regular season games to finish 10-6 to clinch a Wild Card berth in the playoffs. Kerry Collins completed 335 passes, a Giants record. Tiki Barber led the NFC with 1,984 yards from scrimmage. Michael Strahan was selected to his fourth Pro Bowl and had at least a half-sack in 10 consecutive games, tying the NFL record.

The Giants earned their second consecutive postseason berth, the first time they accomplished that feat since 1989-90.

The 2005 season was marked by soaring success and searing tragedy. The Giants finished 11-5 and earned their first playoff berth since 2002 and their first NFC East championship since 2000. But the Giants' beloved owners, Wellington Mara and Preston Robert Tisch, passed away within three weeks of each other, both from cancer.

A new era dawned in in 2004 with the arrival of Tom Coughlin as the 16th head coach in franchise history and quarterback Eli Manning, who was selected with the top pick in the draft and then acquired by the Giants in a trade.

When the 2008 NFL season began, the Giants had the Vince Lombardi Trophy on display in their lobby and legions of skeptics and doubters who were convinced they had won it more through luck and timing than skill. But the Giants proved them all wrong. No, they didn't win another Super Bowl. But they did capture the division title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. They started the season 11-1.

The Giants finished 7-1 at home, their best record in the history of MetLife Stadium, and clinched a spot in the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl XLVI.
