Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Giants started the 1990 season and decade off with a bang. Which team did they defeat in Super Bowl XXV?

Answer: Buffalo Bills

The others were all in the NFC, so a Super Bowl matchup was not possible. The Giants defeated the 49ers in the Conference Championship to earn a berth to the big time. They defeated the Bills 20-19, and running back Ottis Anderson was the Super Bowl MVP. New York went 13-3 in the season.

2. Phil Simms led the Giants to the Super Bowl XXV, but the Giants had a quarterback issue in 1991. Who started 12 games in the season to lead the team to only a 8-8 record?

Answer: Jeff Hostetler

Other than Simms, the other two were Phoenix Cardinals. After starting only two games in the 1990 season, Jeff still played in all 16. Simms played backup to Hostetler in 1991. Jeff threw for 2032 yards in the season, while Rodney Hampton led the team on the ground with 1059 yards rushing.

3. The 1992 Giants didn't have a stellar year, finishing 6-10 in the season. To rub it in, they were shutout once in the season, by which team that ended up 4-12?

Answer: Phoenix Cardinals

The other teams listed all won at least 12 games in 1992. The Giants played the Cardinals in Week 15 to experience a 19-0 shutout. The Giants had only 131 total offensive yards in the game. They had previously defeated the Cardinals in Week 6, 31-21.

4. The Giants turned their previous season around from a 6-10 record, going 11-5 in 1993. What category did the Giants lead the NFL in?

Answer: Least points allowed

And it was not close. The Giants' defense stepped up by allowing only 205 points in the season, compared to 367 in 1992. The only team close was the Cowboys who allowed 229. The Giants defeated the Vikings in the Wildcard game, but were stunned by the 49ers in the Division Championship, putting the Giants down 44-3. In a very respectable season, Phil Simms threw for over 3000 yards.

Answer: Brad Daluiso

Other than Treadwell, the others weren't Giants. The 27-year old was in his second season with the Giants in 1994. He filled in for the ailing David Treadwell, who retired at the end of the season. Daluiso would go on to play with the Giants until 2000.

Answer: Rodney Hampton

Although all Giants, the others would not rush for more than 250 yards in 1995. This would be the final time that Hampton rushed for over a 1000 yards in a season, and it was his career high with 1182.

7. 1996 mirrored their 1995 season, as the Giants started off with a three-game losing streak. What did the Giants end their season record with?

Answer: 6-10

The Giants could not rebound from their 0-3 start, and couldn't put together a winning streak of more than two games. They finished last in the NFC East. QB Dave Brown threw for 2412 yards, and had a TD/INT ratio of 12-20. In 1995, the team went 5-11.

8. The Giants won the NFC East in the 1997 season, and finally made it to the playoffs. What happened on that day that would alter the future of the season for the Giants?

Answer: They tied with the Redskins in the game

Had it not been for this 7-7 tie in Week 13, the Giants might have bypassed the Wildcard game and played in the Division Championship. The Giants lost to the Vikings in the Wildcard game, after finishing 10-5-1 for the season.

Answer: Gary Brown

Of the others, only Gary Brown was a Giant. Brown was in his seventh season after playing five in Houston. He rushed for 1063 yards with a 4.3 average. Giants' Tiki Barber, brother of Buccaneer Ronde, would not reach 1000 yards for the first time until 2000.

10. Which quarterback joined the Giants in 1999 to help them turn things around?

Answer: Kerry Collins

The others weren't Giants. Collins was a three-season veteran after playing for the Panthers and Saints. Collins played in only 10 games in the season, but still threw for 2318 yards. The Giants finished the season with a 7-9 record. For the decade, the franchise went 83-76.
