Overview
The New York Giants hadn't won an NFL championship in 30 years before Bill Parcells' led them to two Super Bowl victories in five years. In 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
