The 1990 New York Giants won a second Super Bowl in five seasons under head coach Bill Parcells. The Giants won their first 10 games and finished 13-3, allowing an NFL-low 13.2 points per game. They beat the Bears 31-3 in the NFC Divisional before winning two nail-biters: 15-13 against the two-time defending Super Bowl champion 49ers for the NFC title, and 20-19 over the high-scoring Bills in Super Bowl XXV. The defense was led by several Pro Bowlers including Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who had 10.5 sacks; linebacker Pepper Johnson and defensive end Leonard Marshall. The Giants offense, which ranked middle of the pack in scoring offense and total yards, was led by an efficient QB in Phil Simms (15 TDs, 4 interceptions) until Simms was hurt late in the year and replaced by Jeff Hostetler. In the playoffs, Hostetler threw 3 TDs and no interceptions, and passed for 222 yards in the Super Bowl. The Giants hung on to win in the closing seconds thanks to a missed Scott Norwood field goal, that veered "wide right."
