The New York Giants hadn't won an NFL championship in 30 years before Bill Parcells' led them to two Super Bowl victories in 5 years. 1986 the Giants were loaded. On defense; Lawrence Taylor; considered by many to be the best Outside Linebacker ever to play the game; won the NFL MVP Award. He and Middle Linebacker; Harry Carson; both future Hall of Famers; led an overwhelming defense. On offense; the Giants were led by Tight End Mark Bavaro; 1500 yard rusher; Joe Morris and Quarterback Phil Simms; a good quarterback who had yet to prove he could be great. In Super Bowl XXI he did just that with a precision passing game that is unmatched as the Giants defeated the Broncos 39-20. Four years later; injuries threatened to ruin the Giants' 1990 season. With 2 weeks to go in the regular season; Simms was lost for the remainder of the year and it would be up to an untested; back-up; Jeff Hostetler to lead the team into the playoffs. Although he had thrown barely more than 100 passes in the previous 6 seasons; Hostetler exceeded all expectations; winning 5 straight starts including a victory over the Bills in Super Bowl XXV; one of the most exciting games in Super Bowl history.
