Amazingly, the Super Bowl champion New York Giants lost five of their eight home games this season. But they were 11-1 on the road, including four straight playoff victories over Tampa Bay, NFC East champion Dallas, NFC North champion Green Bay, and the AFC champion Patriots.

"That was a record in the National Football League, to win 11 straight road games," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "The road signified for us the coming together of team. The only people who cared about us were the guys standing on our sideline. So we rode that emotion."

Giants owner Steve Tisch joked last night about his club's success away from Giants Stadium.

"This just in from the commissioner's office," he said, laughing. "All games should be played on the road next year."

"We are the road warriors," Giants running back Brandon Jacobs said. "They call us that for a reason. We made history. There's nobody undefeated now except the 72 Dolphins."
