Postseason
The Giants defeated the Eagles in a hard fought battle 20–10, in which rookie WR Ron Dixon returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. They advanced to the NFC Championship against the Vikings, as Kerry Collins threw five TDS, two to Ike Hilliard as they progressed to the franchise's 3rd Super Bowl. But that game turned out poorly for the Giants, as Kerry Collins threw four interceptions, one was returned for a TD as they lost 34–7 to the Ravens.
The Giants only score was a Ron Dixon 97-yard kick return.
Early in the second quarter with the score 7-0 backed up in Baltimore territory, QB Trent Dilfer for the Ravens dropped back and shot a pass over the middle that was picked off by ILB Jesse Armstead. Armstead ran the interception back for a TD, but a flag was thrown; a few seconds after Armstead had made the turnover. Inside Lineman Keith Hamilton had been flagged for Defensive Holding. A rare call indeed for any game let alone the Super Bowl. Replays showed that Hamilton had barely nudged on the OL's jersey. The Giants 7 points were taken off the board and instead of tying the game at 7–7, the Ravens would go on to dominate the game.
