the 2007 new york giants season was the 83rd season for the new york giants in the national football league. the giants finished the regular season 10–6 and in second place in the nfc east, improving upon their 8–8 record in 2006 in which they finished third in their division. they qualified for the playoffs as a wild-card team as the #5 seed, and beat the #4 seed tampa bay buccaneers (9–7), the top-seeded dallas cowboys (13–3), and the #2 seed green bay packers (13–3) to become the national football conference representative in super bowl xlii. there, they defeated the heavily favored and previously undefeated 18–0 new england patriots and spoiled their perfect season, aided by the famous manning to tyree forward pass. the 2007 new york giants became the 9th wild card team in nfl history to reach the super bowl and the 5th wild card team to win the super bowl, and the very first nfc wild card to accomplish the feat. they were the third team in history to win three road playoff games en route to a super bowl and set a league record for most consecutive road wins in a single season (11), though the super bowl is played on a neutral field rather than an opponent's stadium. it was the 7th league championship season for the new york giants and their first since they won super bowl xxv in 1991. this season would also mark the end of defensive end michael strahan's nfl career as he retired following the giants' super bowl victory. after playing 14 years for the giants and appearing in 2 super bowls with them (the other being super bowl xxxv), strahan became a media personality, becoming a host of fox nfl sunday and co-hosted abc's live! with kelly and michael with kelly ripa from 2012 to 2016.

the defensive game plan for the giants, written by then-defensive coordinator bill belichick, has been included in the pro football hall of fame. the giants' triumph helped belichick and wide receivers coach tom coughlin make their names and eventually land head-coaching jobs with the cleveland browns and boston college, respectively. currently, belichick is head coach of the new england patriots, while coughlin went from boston college to be the first head coach for the jacksonville jaguars, and spent 12 seasons as the head coach of the new york giants before resigning in 2016. giants head coach bill parcells retired shortly after winning his second super bowl with the giants. however, he went on to coach three other teams since then: the new england patriots (whom he helped bring to super bowl xxxi) from 1993–1996, the new york jets from 1997–1999, and the dallas cowboys from 2003–2006. both coughlin and belichick have gone on to win super bowls as head coaches: belichick with the patriots in super bowls xxxvi, xxxviii, xxxix, xlix, li, and liii; coughlin with the giants in super bowls xlii and xlvi, coincidentally both against belichick's patriots.
