Giants Playoff Appearances

Since the Giants were first made an NFL team back in 1925, they have seen 33 playoff berths. Their first one came in 1933 under coach Steve Owen who coached the Giants from 1931-1953. In those years, he led them to 10 of their playoff appearances. From 1956 to 1963, they only managed to make the playoffs six times under both Jim Lee Howell and Allie Sherman. They did not make the playoffs again until 1981. From 1981 to the year 2000, they made the playoffs nine total times under some notable coaches including Bill Parcells, Dan Reeves, and Jim Fassel. In the 2000s and 2010s, things continue strong as they have muscled in nine more playoff appearances with Tom Coughlin, Ben McAdoo, and Brian Daboll.

Giants Division Championships

The Giants have seen 16 of their 32 playoff appearances turn into division championships. From 1933 to 1950, they won eight of their division titles all under Steve Owen at head coach and also under eight different quarterbacks including Harry Newman, Ed Danowski, Tuffy Leemans and Frank Filchock. They then went on a 20-year drought where they did not win a division title until 1986 under Bill Parcells who led them to three division titles from 1986 to 1990. From 1990 to the present day, they have added five more division titles to their resume with their most recent one coming in 2011.

In the 60s, the Giants were winners of three conference titles from 1961-1963 under Allie Sherman at coach and Y.A. Tittle at quarterback.

1950: The New York Giants’ Most Recent Playoff Comeback

The New York Giants have not had a very good history when it comes to making up large deficits, coming back from a 20+ point deficit just three times in their entire history. Interestingly, none of those comebacks have taken place since 1950, meaning the Giants have gone decades without a 20+ point comeback. The most recent large playoff comeback the Giants made was on November 19, 1950 against the Baltimore Colts. The Colts went up 21-0 in the second quarter behind (most notably) a 50 yard touchdown scored off a lateral. The Giants then put up 55 unanswered points, scoring seven touchdowns while holding the Colts to 0 points in the entire second half. Even more surprisingly, they have not made up a deficit of 10 or more points in any of their playoff appearances.
