The Giants were created in 1925 by original owner Tim Mara. The Giants are one of the original teams of the NFL.
In 1934, the team defeated the Chicago Bears 30-13 at the Polo Grounds in icy nine degree temperatures. At half time, coach Steve Owen provided the team with basketball shoes for better traction on the icy turf, and the game came to be known as the "Sneakers Game".
In 1958, the Giants played the Baltimore Colts for the NFL championship, in what came to be known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played".

In 1987, the Giants defeated the Denver Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI. Phil Simms was named MVP after completing 88% of his passes. This Giants team began the recent football tradition of dousing the head coach with a cooler of ice cold water near the end of a victorious game that clinches some sort of championship.

In 1991, the Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV 20-19 in one of the most dramatic Super Bowls ever played, which culminated in Scott Norwood's missed FG. Ottis Anderson was named MVP.
