There was a ticker tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes in New York back on Feb. 7, 2012. More than a million fans came out to worship their New York football heroes, to scream as they caught glimpses of the New York Giants and the Super Bowl XLVI trophy they brought home.
It was a magical day. It was the kind of sports celebration only New York can offer.
Who knew that would be the last good moment for New York football for more than a decade?
OK, to be fair, there have been other good moments in the nearly 13 years since. But for both the Giants and Jets, there really haven’t been that many. In the last 12.5 seasons, the combined record of the two New York teams is a disgusting 149-256-1, including 2-6 for each of them so far in 2024. That includes only four winning seasons by either team (three by the Giants), only two playoff berths (both by the Giants), and an astonishing 17 combined seasons of double-digit losses, with two more likely on the way.
It might be worse for the Jets who have spent the last 55 years only dreaming of a Super Bowl berth. They are well on their way to their 14th straight season of missing the playoffs, and they haven’t had a home playoff game since 2002 — eight years before their current stadium opened.
But the truth is, in this New York marathon of futility, the Giants are right on their battered heels. They’ve won just 78 of their 203 regular season games since the beginning of 2012 (a .387 winning percentage). The Jets, with a winning percentage of .350, have won just 71.
Yeah, there’s always next year, which has become a familiar refrain in New York. But is next year really going to be better for either team? Here’s a closer look at the states of these two organizations and whether there’s any hope for a New York football revival any time soon:
