The 2012 New York Giants season was highlighted by a strong 9-7 record and a high-powered offense that ranked sixth in the league in scoring. Coming off their Super Bowl victory, the team featured standout performances from quarterback Eli Manning, who passed for 3,948 yards, and a potent receiving duo in Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks. The season included memorable dominant victories, such as a 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints and a 42-7 season-ending triumph against the Philadelphia Eagles. An undrafted free agent out of UMass, Victor Cruz became a Pro Bowl wide receiver and Super Bowl XLVI champion for the New York Giants, setting a franchise record for receiving yards in a season and becoming famous for his celebratory salsa dance.
