2015 New York Giants season

The 2015 season was the New York Giants' 91st in the National Football League (NFL) and their sixth playing home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Tom Coughlin returned for his 12th and final season as the team's head coach. The Giants attempted to secure a playoff berth for the first time since their 2011 season, which concluded with their victory in Super Bowl XLVI. To honor the late Frank Gifford and Ann Mara, both of whom died earlier in 2015, the Giants added a number 16 decal on their helmets and special patch for Gifford and Mara respectively.

The Giants began the season 0–2 for the third straight year, and in doing so became the first team in NFL history to go 0–2 while holding double-digit leads in the fourth quarter of both games; however, they rebounded to win their next three games before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants' 2015 season was plagued by their poor defense and inability to close out games, as eight of their ten losses were by a touchdown or less, and they lost six games in which they held leads or were tied within the final two minutes. These losses included their opening game against the Dallas Cowboys, their home opener against the Atlanta Falcons, a road loss to the New Orleans Saints, and two home defeats against the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. Had the Giants won these games, they would have finished 11–5 and won the NFC East. After the Washington Redskins defeated the Eagles on December 26 the Redskins clinched the NFC East division, eliminating the Giants from playoff contention. At the end of the season, Tom Coughlin resigned as head coach, after having made the playoffs five times and won two Super Bowls, both times against the New England Patriots.
