The New York Giants began the decade of the '90s advancing a style of football as old as the game itself: fundamentals that remain true to the essence of the sport. While others tried frills and finesse, the Giants won with well-crafted strategies, and no nonsense power on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Behind a backup quarterback, New York survived in crucial games the experts were certain the Giants could not win. In the silver anniversary Super Bowl, the Giants proved that champions weren't always the fastest or flashiest, but those who were dedicated to the basics of the game: strength, endurance, and character.
