NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS GIANTS CELEBRATE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER BOWL XXV The Giants are celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of their most successful and memorable teams in franchise history, the 1990 squad that won Super Bowl XXV. In 1990, the Giants won their first 10 games and finished the regular season with a 13-3 record. They routed the Chicago Bears in an NFC Divisional Playoff Game, 31-3. The following week, Matt Bahr’s 42-yard field goal as time expired gave the Giants a 15-13 victory over the two-time defending champion 49ers in San Francisco in the conference champion- ship game. The Giants won their second title in five seasons when they defeated the Buffalo Bills, 20-19, in the Super Bowl. The 1990 Giants featured two current members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, head coach Bill Parcells and linebacker Lawrence Taylor. Quarterback Phil Simms started the first 14 games before he suffered a foot injury and was relieved by Jeff Hostetler. The team also included running back Ottis Anderson, the Super Bowl MVP, plus Carl Banks, Pepper Johnson and Leonard Marshall on defense. QUOTABLE ON COACH BILL PARCELLS’ PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 1990 SEASON: “Parcells is ‘win with defense and don’t lose the game for me offense.’ That was the philosophy and it worked.” CENTER BART OATES QUOTABLE ON WHAT ‘ONCE A GIANT, ALWAYS A GIANT’ MEANS: “‘Once a Giant, always a Giant’ means to me that we’re always going to be celebrating and remembering those special moments that are going to be with us for the rest of our lives. You can’t deny history and it’s really cool, very special to be able to have that in your history. ” DEFENSIVE TACKLE ERIK HOWARD HONORING ANN MARA, FRANK GIFFORD This season, the Giants are honoring two of their legends who passed away this year by wearing a com- memorative patch and decal on their uniforms. Ann Mara, who died on Feb. 1 at age 85 and she was the matriarch of the Giants organization, is being honored with a jersey patch. Gifford, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977 and died on Aug. 9 at age 84, is being honored by the team with a No. 16 decal -- Gifford’s jersey number -- on the back of their helmets. 2015 new york giants • week 10 • VS.
