Last Meeting In Week 12 of the 2010 NFL regular season, the Giants defeated the Jaguars, 24-20, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Lawrence Tynes opened the scoring by kicking a 22- yard field goal less than three minutes into the game. A 5- yard touchdown run by Rashad Jennings gave the Jaguars a 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. Josh Scobee kicked a 22- yard field to begin the second quarter, but after a 7- play, 64- yard drive, Tynes made his second field goal of the day, from 29 yards out. Leading 10-6, the Jaguars extended their lead to 11 when David Garrard scored on a 5- yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in the first half. Tynes third field goal, a 28- yarder, cut the Giants deficit to Eli Manning threw a 26- yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 13:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, and Ahmad Bradshaw converted the ensuing 2- point conversion to even the game, Scobee kicked a field goal to give the Jaguars a lead, but Manning responded by leading the Giants on a 6- play 69- yard drive that ended with the game- winning 32- yard touchdown pass to Kevin Boss. That touchdown marked the 20th game- winning drive of Eli Manning s career. After Antrel Rolle recovered a fumble with 1:25 remaining, the Giants ran out the clock to preserve the victory. Although they had 23 fewer plays than the Jaguars (73-50), the Giants produced 361 yards of total offense, 33 more than the Jaguars. Manning completed 14 of 24 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns. The Giants receiving corps was very balanced, with 6 different players making a reception. Rolle (fumble recovery), Terrell Thomas (INT), and Jason Pierre- Paul (2 sacks) were all instrumental for the defense in the Giants victory.

9 Head Coaches Tom Coughlin NFL Record: overall NFL Head Coach: 17th year College: Syracuse University The 2011 season solidified Tom Coughlin s standing as one of the finest and most successful coaches in NFL history. The Giants finished 9-7 and won the NFC East championship before winning four postseason games, including their second Super Bowl in five seasons, a victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.

Coughlin s 154 total victories tie him with Hall of Famer Marv Levy for 17th on the NFL s career list.

The 2011 Giants emulated the 2007 championship team by winning two road postseason games, the NFC Divisional Playoff in Green Bay and the conference championship game in San Francisco. Coughlin has nine postseason victories away from home - seven on the road and two neutral site Super Bowls. Seven of those nine victories were with the Giants in 2007 and The Giants have won seven consecutive postseason games away from home (five on the road, two neutral sites).

Their six- year streak without a losing record is the Giants longest since they had 10 in a row from Coughlin first ascended to the pinnacle of his profession in the 2007 season when he led the Giants to a victory in Super Bowl XLII. The Giants, heavy underdogs entering the game, scored two fourth- quarter touchdowns to defeat the previously undefeated New England Patriots, In 2011, the Giants won their fourth Lombardi Trophy, and second under Coughlin, with an unexpected late- season run. A loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18 left the Giants with a 7-7 record. It was their last defeat of the season. Six days later, the Giants defeated the Jets, A week later, they crushed Dallas, 31-14, to clinch the NFC East title, their eighth division championship since the 1970 merger.

(157). Coughlin is the only one of those four coaches to have coached an expansion team. With 154 total victories, Coughlin is third among active coaches, behind Belichick (192) and Shanahan (165).

10 Coughlin is one of just six active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, Shanahan, Pittsburgh s Mike Tomlin, New Orleans Sean Payton and Green Bay s Mike McCarthy. Coughlin, Belichick and Payton are former Giants assistant coaches. Payton will miss the entire 2012 season while serving an NFL suspension. The two championship seasons, division titles, postseason berths, and streak of seven seasons at.500 or better are successes in a Giants revival that began when Coughlin was named the 16th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 6, The Giants won only four games in the season prior to his arrival. A longtime successful head coach on the collegiate level and in the NFL, Coughlin was the wide receivers coach of the Giants when they won Super Bowl XXV in When he returned to the team as head coach, Coughlin quickly put the team back on a path that would ultimately lead to two more Super Bowl victories. The Giants improved from four to six to 11 victories and the NFC East title in Coughlin s first two seasons with the team. In 2006, they went 8-8 and earned an NFC Wild Card playoff berth. The following season, the Giants were 10-6 in the regular season and again reached postseason play as a Wild Card, which served as a springboard to the team s Super Bowl victory. In 2008, they were again one of the NFL s very best teams at 12-4 and reached the playoffs for the first time following a Super Bowl appearance. Two years later, the Giants were only the sixth double- digit victory team to fall short of the postseason since the NFL s realignment in Last season, they had one less regular season victory, a fact long forgotten when Coughlin held the Lombardi Trophy on the podium in the center of Lucas Oil Field on Feb. 5. Coughlin twice led the Jacksonville Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game prior to leading the Giants to victories in two NFC Championship Games. He is one of just six coaches to lead teams to a championship game in each conference since the 1970 merger. The others are Parcells and Dan Reeves (both former Giants coaches), as well as Chuck Knox, Jon Gruden and Tony Dungy. The 2011 Giants were unique Super Bowl champions. They were the first team to win the title after a) losing seven games in the regular season; b) losing four consecutive games in the regular season; c) finishing with a negative scoring differential ( ) in the regular season, and d) finishing last in the NFL in rushing in the regular season. They did so thanks to the resilience, toughness and tenacity that has been the hallmarks of Coughlin- coached teams. In their four postseason victories, the Giants defeated 10-6 Atlanta, 15-1 Green Bay, 13-3 San Francisco and 13-3 New England to become the first team to beat four teams in the playoffs with better regular season records. The Giants are the first team to twice win four games in a single postseason (doing it in 2007 and 2011). Defensively, the 2011 Giants allowed only an average of 14 points in four postseason games, significantly below the 25 points a game given up in the regular season. In 2010, the Giants allowed 347 points, 80 fewer than they gave up the previous season. The Giants finished the season with 46 sacks, their highest total since the 2007 Super Bowl champions led the NFL with 53. The Giants held their opponents to an NFL- best 31.7 success rate on third down conversion attempts (66 of 208). In 2011, the Giants scored 47 touchdowns one less than they had in 2010, which was their highest total since the 1985 team scored 48. Last year, Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for nine touchdowns and Cruz tied him for the team lead with nine receiving scores. The previous season, Nicks caught 11 touchdown passes and Mario Manningham added nine as they became the first pair of Giants with at least nine touchdown catches since 1967, when Homer Jones had a franchise- record 13 and Aaron Thomas had nine. In addition, Brandon Jacobs rushed for nine touchdowns and Bradshaw eight, the first time the Giants had two backs run for at least eight scores in the same season. Coughlin entered the NFL as the Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers coach in 1984 and He held the same position with the Green Bay Packers in 1986 and 1987 before moving to the Giants for a three- year stint. Coughlin was a standout scholastic star at Waterloo (N.Y.) Central High School, where the football stadium now bears his name. He was a three- year letterman at Syracuse for legendary coach Ben Schwartzwalder from A wingback, Coughlin played in a backfield with All- America backs and Pro Football Hall of Famers Larry Csonka and Floyd Little. As a senior in 1967, Coughlin broke Syracuse s single- season pass receiving record. That year, he won Syracuse s Orange Key Award as the university s outstanding scholar- athlete. He graduated in 1968 with a bachelor s degree in education and received a master s degree in education the following year. Thomas Richard Coughlin was born on Aug. 31, 1946 in Waterloo.
