90th season in franchise history
2014 New York Giants season Owner John Mara Steve Tisch Head coach Tom Coughlin General manager Jerry Reese Home field MetLife Stadium Record 6–10 Division place 3rd NFC East Playoff finish Did not qualify Pro Bowlers Odell Beckham Jr. , WR
The 2014 New York Giants season was the franchise's 90th season in the National Football League , the fifth playing their home games at MetLife Stadium and the eleventh under head coach Tom Coughlin . The team failed to improve on their 7–9 mark from 2013 , finishing 6–10.
To commemorate their ninetieth anniversary, the Giants wore a special patch on their jerseys. In addition, the team wore white pants instead of gray for two home games versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 on Monday Night Football and two weeks later against the San Francisco 49ers .[1] With their loss to the Jaguars on November 30, 2014, the Giants sealed their second consecutive losing season.
The Giants' 2014 season was plagued by a 7-game losing streak in the middle of the season, their longest since 2004 and a league-leading 22 players on the injured reserve list, including star wide receiver Victor Cruz , by the end of the season.

This was the first Sunday Night Football game held in MetLife Stadium following a one-season absence.
With the loss, the Giants fell to 3-8, and were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after the Lions defeated the Bears on Thanksgiving four days later. This game, however, is best known for an acrobatic one-handed catch by Odell Beckham Jr. early in the 2nd quarter that would go down as one of the greatest catches in NFL history. A penalty marker flew as he made the catch - for pass interference on Brandon Carr , who had been covering Beckham on that play.
