Super Bowl XLVI seems like a lifetime ago for New York Giants fans. A lot has happened in the nine years since, but not much has led to a propitious situation. Since that magical 2011 Super Bowl run, the Giants have gone 57-87 with three coaching changes, one disappointing playoff appearance (38-13 Wild-Card loss in Green Bay), and two seasons with a .500 or more winning percentage (2012 and 2016).
It’s been an unfulfilling stretch that followed one of the better decades in Giants’ history. The 9-7 2011 Super Bowl champion Giants’ team was the last time this team won an NFC East Championship as well.
