The Giants did just about the best thing any team can do in any given season in 2007. They won the Super Bowl. They toppled a string of what were, on paper, much better teams, including one that hadn’t lost a game all year. It was an amazing story.
Even the beginning of that tale took on a legend of its own. They’d dropped their first two games and were on the verge of a third straight when a goal-line stand saved them and sent them on their path to the Lombardi Trophy.
