Giants–Patriots rivalry
American football rivalry / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Giants–Patriots rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. The all-time series is currently tied, 7–7. The two teams met twice in the Super Bowl, both won by the Giants. They play in different conferences (the Giants as a member of the NFC East, and the Patriots as a member of the AFC East), and thus they only meet once every four regular seasons and at least once every eight seasons at each team's home stadium, occasionally in the preseason, sometimes more often if they meet in the Super Bowl or share a common finish position in their respective divisions in the year before the 17th game.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This rivalry sparked debates among sports fans in Boston and New York City, evoking comparisons to the fierce Yankees–Red Sox rivalry in Major League Baseball.[7][8][9][10]
