It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since the New York Giants knocked off the New England Patriots, 17-14, in Super Bowl XLII, ending the Pats’ quest to become the first team to go 19-0 in an NFL season.
The Giants won the Super Bowl again four years later, beating New England again, but went in the tank after that, qualifying for the playoffs just once (2016) before finally getting there again this year.
Giants co-owner John Mara recalled in a recent interview the team’s odyssey of winning four postseason games on the road to secure the Lombardi Trophy.
