# 2013 New York Giants season

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 9–7 record and were eliminated from playoff contention after their Week 14 loss to the Chargers. The Giants started 0–6, but rallied to win 7 of their last 10, finishing 7–9. This was the Giants' first losing season since 2004.
The Giants became the first team in NFL history to have a five-year era in which they won the Super Bowl in the third year of the era but missed the playoffs in all other years. Five other teams had similar situations where their lone playoff appearances in any five-year stretch were Super Bowl victories; however four of these were won on their fifth year of that stretch:
* New York Jets from 1964 to 1968
* Washington Redskins from 1978 to 1982
* St. Louis Rams from 1995 to 1999
* Baltimore Ravens from 1996 to 2000
The San Francisco 49ers won their Super Bowl on their fourth year of their stretch from 1978 to 1982.
