The 2013 season was the New York Giants' 89th in the National Football League (NFL), their fourth playing home games at MetLife Stadium and their 10th under head coach Tom Coughlin.
The Giants attempted to attain a playoff berth after failing to do so in 2012, and be the first team to play the Super Bowl on their own home field, which they share with the New York Jets. However, they failed to improve on their 9âÂÂ7 record and were eliminated from playoff contention after their Week 14 loss to the Chargers. The Giants started 0âÂÂ6, but rallied to win 7 of their last 10, finishing 7âÂÂ9. This was the Giants' first losing season since 2004.
