1990 New York Giants season
The
1990
New York Giants
season
was one of the most successful seasons in the professional
football
franchise's history. The Giants, who play in the
National Football Conference
(NFC) of the
National Football League
(NFL), won their sixth championship — and second
Super Bowl
— in franchise history during the season. Led by
linebacker
Lawrence Taylor
and
quarterbacks
Phil Simms
and
Jeff Hostetler
, the Giants posted a 13–3 record and defeated the
Chicago Bears
and the two time defending Super Bowl champion
San Francisco 49ers
in the NFC playoffs. In
Super Bowl XXV
they defeated the
Buffalo Bills
20–19 in
Tampa Stadium
, against a patriotic backdrop inspired by the recently started
Gulf War
. The story of the season is the subject of a recent book,
When the Cheering Stops
, by defensive end
Leonard Marshall
and CBSsports.com co-writer William Bendetson.
