The 2021 New York Giants season featured several bright spots and individual milestones, despite a challenging year for the team. Highlights included a thrilling overtime victory against the New Orleans Saints and a strong defensive performance that held opponents to 20 points or fewer in six different games. Standout individual efforts came from kicker Graham Gano, who remained one of the most reliable in the league, and safety Xavier McKinney, who emerged as a premier playmaker with a team-leading five interceptions. The 2022 New York Giants enjoyed a resurgent season under first-year head coach Brian Daboll, finishing with a 9-7-1 record and securing their first playoff berth since 2016. Led by breakout performances from Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, the team achieved its first postseason victory in over a decade with a thrilling 31-24 Wild Card win against the Minnesota Vikings.
