The2011 season was theNew York Giants' 87th in theNational Football League (NFL) and their eighth under head coachTom Coughlin. They played all of their home games atMetLife Stadium inEast Rutherford, New Jersey. Although the team failed to improve on their 10–6 mark from2010, the Giants were able to qualify for the playoffs, and in another Cinderella run that paralleled what they did in2007, they wonSuper Bowl XLVI, again versus theNew England Patriots, their fourth Super Bowl win in franchise history.

Many analysts predicted a rough year for the Giants.[1] Despite highs and lows throughout the season, the Giants, with a 9–7 record, returned to the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2008, winning theNFC East and finished the season as the NFC's #4 seed. New York finished 10–6 in 2010 but failed to qualify for the playoffs due to not having any tiebreakers over any NFC playoff team. The Giants entered their week 17 match up with the Cowboys with both teams tied for the division lead with 8–7 records. The Giants took a 21–0 first half lead and while the Cowboys closed the gap to make the score 21–14 early in the 4th quarter, the Giants held on to defeat the Cowboys 31–14, clinching the divisional title and a playoff berth.

In theplayoffs, the Giants defeated theAtlanta Falcons,Green Bay Packers, and theSan Francisco 49ers to win the NFC championship. The Giants defeated theNew England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI, which was a rematch ofSuper Bowl XLII from 4 years earlier in which the Giants defeated thepreviously undefeated Patriots. As in 2007, 1990, and 1986, the Giants played their eventual Super Bowl opponent during the regular season. The Giants also played the Packers and 49ers during the season, losing both games in the final minutes of play.

The 2011 Giants were the first team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl with a negative regular season point differential (-6, 394 points scored, 400 points allowed). With a 9–7 record, the Giants became the third NFL team to win fewer than 10 games in a 16-game season and reach the Super Bowl, but became the first of the three to win the Super Bowl. The previous teams to go 9–7 and reach the Super Bowl (the1979 Rams, who only needed two playoff wins were the first, and the2008 Arizona Cardinals) were both defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Additionally, upon defeating the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI the Giants became the firstNFC East champion to win the Super Bowl since theDallas Cowboys in1995 (the Giants were a Wild Card team as the #5 seed when they wonSuper Bowl XLII).

The 2011 Giants were an aberration from other great Giants teams of the past who were built around tough, physical defensive play and an offense built around a power running attack. DespiteJason Pierre-Paul having a breakoutPro Bowl season with 16.5 sacks, the defense was ranked in the bottom 10 in points and yards allowed and was top 10 in penalties. Their normally durable rushing attack ofBrandon Jacobs andAhmad Bradshaw was ranked last in the NFL with 89 rushing yards per game as a team. The standout of the year was the quarterback play ofEli Manning who threw a career-high and franchise record 4,933 passing yards with 29 touchdown passes. Manning engineered 6 regular season game-winning drives in 2011 and threw 15 touchdown passes in the 4th quarter, NFL records that still stand. He improved upon his interception total, lowering it to 16. He had 2 more game-winning drives in the playoffs, the NFC Championship andSuper Bowl XLVI. Manning's 5 career game-winning drives in the playoffs are tied for third in NFL history withJoe Montana and became the fifth player to win multipleSuper Bowl MVP awards. Manning's play subsequently led to the breakout of undrafted wide receiverVictor Cruz and the emergence of Cruz andHakeem Nicks as the best wide receiver duo in the NFL. Cruz set a franchise record 1,536 receiving yards from 82 receptions, while Nicks had 76 receptions for 1,192 yards.

Some news organizations, among themThe St. Louis Post-Dispatch, said that the Giants' victory in the Super Bowl made them the NFL's version of the2011 World Series championSt. Louis Cardinals, saying that these two championship teams had been given the last rites by many near the end of the season, but emerged as champions at the end.[2] The 2012Stanley Cup championLos Angeles Kings also followed a similar path to the Cardinals and Giants a few months later, qualifying for the final playoff spot in theWestern Conference in their penultimate regular season game[3] only to dominate in the playoffs, just losing a record-tying low of four playoff games, en route to the franchise's first championship.

This season was the final time the Giants qualified for the playoffs under Coughlin, and would not reach the playoffs again until2016 and would not win a playoff game again until2022. As of 2025, this is the most recent time the Giants have won the NFC East, as they currently hold the longest active division title drought in the conference, at 14 seasons.

Main article:2011 NFL draft

Todd McShay (ESPN),[4] Steve Wyche (NFL.com),[5]Pat Kirwan of NFL.com, New Era Scouting, and DraftKing.com predicted that the Giants would use their first round pick (19th overall) to draftGabe Carimi (who went 29th overall), a left tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers who won the 2010Outland Trophy as the nation's top collegiate interior lineman, and was a Consensus All-American.[6][7][8] Charles Davis of NFL.com predicted that they would draftMike Pouncey (who went 15th overall), a center/offensive guard from the University of Florida.[9] They instead draftedPrince Amukamara, an all-American cornerback from the University of Nebraska.

Movement

[edit]

In the first week of the offseason the Giants signed some road free agents and former members of their 2010 practice squad to reserve/future contracts in order to bolster the roster for the 2011 season. In early March the team signed potential free agents to contract extensions: on March 2 the team signedrunning backD.J. Ware to a two-year extension and on March 3 they signedwide receiversDomenik Hixon andDarius Reynaud to one and two-year extensions, respectively. They also offered tenders to some of theirrestricted free agents but the effectiveness of these tenders rely on the ongoing CBA talks.

After trailing the Cardinals for most of the game, the Giants scored two touchdowns in the final 100 seconds of the game for their second comeback victory in as many games. Arizona led 20–10 entering the fourth on the strength of two Beanie Wells rushing touchdowns and two Jay Feely field goals. The Giants were aided by a controversial play on their final drive when Victor Cruz appeared to fumble the ball without being tackled. However, upon review it was determined that he had willfully given himself up before he fumbled and as such, he was considered to be down. On the next playEli Manning snapped the ball before the Cardinals defense was set and threw the game-winning touchdown pass toHakeem Nicks. Kolb drove the Cardinals into field goal range on their final drive, but a sack byOsi Umenyiora and pass breakup byCorey Webster sealed the win for the Giants. Wells rushed for 138 and three scores whileLarry Fitzgerald caught eight of Kevin Kolb's passes for 102 yards. Manning finished 27–40 with 321 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, both in the 4th quarter. Nicks finished with 10 grabs for 162 yards and a touchdown.

The Giants could not contain their momentum from the previous week's comeback and lost a mistaken-laden game to the Seattle Seahawks. Victor Cruz had a play-of-the-year candidate touchdown catch in the third quarter as he caught the ball off his own deflection and ran it 68 yards to give the Giants a 22–19 lead in the fourth. Marshawn Lynch led all rushers with 98 yards and a touchdown while Cruz recorded 161 receiving yards. Seahawks wide receiverDoug Baldwin responded with a go-ahead touchdown of his own, to give his team a 29–25 lead. While the Giants were in the red zone to win the game, Cruz slipped on a pass from Manning, and the pass was intercepted by Brandon Browner, who returned it for a Seahawks touchdown, ending the game. Seahawks backup quarterbackCharlie Whitehurst finished the game for an injuredTarvaris Jackson, who finished 15 for 22 for 166 yards. Baldwin and Cruz tied for the game lead with receptions with eight and both recorded a touchdown. Despite Eli Manning throwing three touchdowns and for over 400 yards, his three interceptions proved costly.

In the rematch ofSuper Bowl XLII andSuper Bowl XLVI preview, Tom Brady was picked off two times in this game. With the ball at the New York 29, Brady's pass was tipped by Michael Boley and intercepted by Mathias Kiwanuka, who returned it to the Giants 28, for Brady's 2nd pick of the game. However, the next possession had the Patriots drive down to the Giants 12. Stephen Gostowski's 27-yard field goal went slight left, making this the first time the Patriots had no score at halftime since December 10, 2006. In this game, turnovers marred both teams. First, Lawrence Tynes kicked a 22-yard field goal that put them on 3–0. Then Brandon Jacobs ran it in 10 yards to put the Giants up 10–0. After that, Aaron Ross muffed the punt, giving the Patriots the ball at the Giants 33. However, they could only muster a 32-yard field goal. Devin Thomas muffed his punt, but scooped it up. Then,Julian Edelman fumbled the punt in Giants territory. Driving in the red zone, Manning got picked off by Kyle Arrington in the end zone. Seven plays later, Brady hit Aaron Hernandez for a 5-yard touchdown, tying the game at 10 just 32 seconds into the fourth quarter. With 7:08, Gostkowski's 45-yard field goal gave the Pats their first lead of the game, 13–10. Manning then led the Giants on an 85-yard march to a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 3:03 remaining, putting the Giants on top 17–13. It looked like the Pats would win with a comeback of their own when Tom Brady threw a 14-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski, making it 20–17 with 1:36 to go. However, leading the New York Giants 80 yards in just over a minute, Manning hit Jake Ballard for a 1-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left for a 24–20 win on Sunday, repeating a come-from-behind victory similar to the 2008 title game between the teams. They were helped by a 20-yard pass interference penalty against safetySergio Brown of the Patriots (5–3) that put the ball at the 1 with 30 seconds left. The Giants shocked the NFL and opened up to a 6–2 record. Eli Manning was praised by critics for his recent comeback victories. This was the first time the Patriots lost at home with Tom Brady as their quarterback in 31 regular season starts, and it was also the first Patriots loss at home where they had a 4th quarter lead in the Tom Brady era.

Playing on Sunday night for the first time all season, the Giants could not take advantage of three Vince Young interceptions and fumbled on their final drive, allowing the Eagles to salvage a split in the season series. New York fell behind 10–0 on an Alex Henery field goal and a touchdown pass from Young to former Giant Steve Smith. Trailing 10–3 entering the fourth, Eli Manning sought out Victor Cruz who caught a pass for 24 yards and the tying touchdown. However, they allowed Young to put together an 18-play drive finishing with a Riley Cooper touchdown pass. The Giants got the ball and Manning completed a pass to Cruz for 47 yards. The next play, Manning was stripped of the ball, sealing the Eagles victory. Despite his three interceptions Young threw for 258 yards in his relief effort for the injured Michael Vick. Manning threw for 264 yards, 128 of which went to Cruz. LeSean McCoy again rushed for 100 yards, recording 113 on 23 carries.

Looking to snap their losing streak, the Giants took on the undefeated Super Bowl champion Packers at home following their blowout loss in New Orleans. New York rebounded from their poor offensive effort against the Saints by putting up 35 points on the defending Super Bowl Champions and had the lead three separate times during the course of the game. With 58 seconds remaining in the game and Green Bay leading 35–27, the Giants tied the game on a touchdown and two-point conversion by Eli Manning, Hakeem Nicks, and DJ Ware. The Giants could not stop Aaron Rodgers from leading the Packers back down the field, however, and Mason Crosby's field goal as time expired kept the hopes for an undefeated season in Green Bay alive for the moment. Manning threw three touchdown passes, with Nicks recording two and backup tight end Travis Beckum the other, and recorded 347 yards passing while Victor Cruz added 119 yards on seven catches. Rodgers recorded 369 yards and four touchdowns, two of which went to Donald Driver.

The Giants went to Arlington, Texas for their first meeting with the division rival Cowboys. Once again, the Giants were able to record a victory in the final minutes. Trailing late in the fourth quarter, Eli Manning recorded a touchdown pass to tight end Jake Ballard to pull the team within five. After Tony Romo failed to hit Miles Austin on a third down and short on the Cowboys' next drive, the Giants drove down the field in 1:26 and Brandon Jacobs scored to give the Giants a 35–34 lead, extended to 37–34 when DJ Ware converted the two-point play. Dallas drove down the field and got into position for a Dan Bailey field goal that would have tied the game. Just before he kicked the ball, however, Giants coach Tom Coughlin called timeout, negating Bailey's successful kick. On the retry, Jason Pierre-Paul recorded a blocked field goal by tipping the kick as it was coming up, securing the win and finishing what was a huge night for the second-year defensive end; Pierre-Paul recorded two sacks, a forced fumble (recovered by Deon Grant), and a safety as well. NBC color analyst Cris Collinsworth praised Eli Manning for generating yet another fourth quarter comeback. Manning threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns while Romo recorded 321 yards and four scores. Laurent Robinson caught one of those passes as part of his four-catch, 137-yard day while Hakeem Nicks recorded 154 yards on seven catches. Jacobs scored two rushing touchdowns, while recording his first 100-yard rushing game of the season. This game was ranked #2 on NFL.com's Top 20 Games of 2011, the highest regular season game on the list.[15]

Top tacklers

This matchup on Christmas Eve against the crosstown rival New York Jets was considered the most important ever. Both teams needed to win their last two games to make the playoffs and Jets coachRex Ryan, while trying to motivate his players, added fuel to the fire. He publicly claimed the Jets were the better New York team, saying he didn't get hired to be anybody's "little brother." He went on and covered the Giants three Super Bowl logos in the locker room hallway leading up to the game and sent former Giants Super Bowl hero and current JetPlaxico Burress as the only captain for the coin toss. The Jets scored a touchdown on their opening drive on aMark Sanchez touchdown pass to fullback Josh Baker, aided by the Giants having 12 men on the field on a 4th down earlier in the drive. Trailing 7–3 in the second quarter and facing 3rd & 10 from their own 1-yard line, Eli Manning threw a short out pass to Victor Cruz. Cruz broke two tackles and then took off for the end zone, outrunning the remaining Jet defenders on his way to a record-tying 99-yard touchdown reception and a 10–7 lead which the Giants never looked back from.Ahmad Bradshaw had a punishing touchdown run near the end of the third quarter. Down 20–14 and with an opportunity to march down the field to take the lead,Chris Canty forced an intentional grounding penalty in the endzone on Sanchez resulting in a safety. Bradshaw had a 19-yard touchdown run on the next play to seal the 29–14 victory and set up a winner-take-all season finale against the Cowboys. Manning recorded 225 yards and a touchdown, while Cruz's three receptions garnered him 164 of those. Sanchez threw a career-high 59 passes for 258 yards and two total touchdowns but was intercepted twice and Dustin Keller led all receivers with eight receptions.

Trailer honoring the Giants for winning theSuper Bowl

In winning the Super Bowl, the Giants became the first team to have won Super Bowl games broadcast on all four U.S. national networks (CBS,ABC,Fox, and now NBC), as well as the first team to win Super Bowls in four different decades. The Giants-Patriots game was the 11th time that there was a rematch in a Super Bowl. In doing so, the 2011 Giants became the first team with fewer than 10 wins (9 wins – 7 losses) in the regular season to win a Super Bowl. Furthermore, Super Bowl XLVI marked just the second time in Super Bowl history that opening score of the title game occurred with a safety when Justin Tuck pressured Tom Brady, and he was called for intentional grounding; the first instance wasSuper Bowl IX, when Pittsburgh registered a safety on Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant's Vikings. Eli Manning won his second Super Bowl MVP award in four years after orchestrating another game-winning touchdown drive in the game's final moments.[17]

Season facts
