The 2002 New York Giants enjoyed a resurgent season, finishing with a 10-6 record and securing a playoff berth for the second time in three years. Led by head coach Jim Fassel, the team finished the regular season on a high note with a four-game winning streak, highlighted by an overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The season featured standout performances from Pro Bowlers Michael Strahan and rookie tight end Jeremy Shockey, as well as a high-powered offense led by Kerry Collins, Tiki Barber, and Amani Toomer. A 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee and Super Bowl XLII champion, Michael Strahan was a dominant defensive end who played his entire 15-season career with the New York Giants and set a then-NFL record with 22.5 sacks in 2001.
