Whereas during the postseason for the 2011–2012 regular 
season, the Giants defeated an Atlanta Falcons team 
with a regular season record of 10 wins and 6 losses, a 
Green Bay Packers team with a regular season record of 
15 wins and 1 loss, a San Francisco 49ers team with a 
regular season record of 13 wins and 3 losses, and a New 
England Patriots team with a regular season record of 
13 wins and 3 losses, thus becoming the first team to 
beat 4 teams in the playoffs with regular season records 
better than their own; 
Whereas the Giants have been the model of resilience this 
season by overcoming both injury and adversity, having 
to place 13 players on injured reserve and becoming the 
first team to win the Super Bowl after losing 7 games 
in the regular season; 
Whereas quarterback Elisha Nelson ‘‘Eli’’ Manning, who 
completed 30 passes for 296 yards and 1 touchdown in 
the Super Bowl, and who improved his record as a start-
ing quarterback in the postseason to 8 wins and 3 losses 
(and his record as a starting quarterback in the Super 
Bowl to 2 wins and 0 losses), was voted the winner of 
the Pete Rozelle Trophy, awarded to the Most Valuable 
Player of the Super Bowl, becoming the first Giants play-
er to win the award more than once and only the fifth 
player to do so in National Football League history, 
proving that he is truly one of the game’s elite quarter-
backs; 
Whereas Tom Coughlin, in his eighth season as head coach 
of the Giants, has led his team to the playoffs 5 times, 
and this season, with the help of Defensive Coordinator 
Perry Fewell, Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride, and 
the entire Giants coaching staff, led the Giants to victory
