The story of the season is the subject of a recent book, <i>When the Cheering Stops</i>, by defensive end <a href="/wiki/Leonard_Marshall" title="Leonard Marshall">Leonard Marshall</a> and CBSsports.com co-writer William Bendetson. </p><p>After making <a href="/wiki/1989%E2%80%9390_NFL_playoffs" title="1989–90 NFL playoffs">the playoffs</a> in 1989, the Giants entered <a href="/wiki/1990_NFL_season" title="1990 NFL season">the 1990 season</a> as a Super Bowl favorite, though most believed they stood little chance of stopping the 49ers. The Giants began the season with a 27–20 win over <a href="/wiki/1990_Philadelphia_Eagles_season" title="1990 Philadelphia Eagles season">the Philadelphia Eagles</a>, then won their next nine games before losing a rematch to Philadelphia 31–13 in Week 12. The Giants also lost close games to the 49ers on the road and to the Bills at home in the regular season before defeating both teams in playoff rematches. In the Week 15 game against Buffalo, starting quarterback <a href="/wiki/Phil_Simms" title="Phil Simms">Phil Simms</a> was injured and ultimately lost for the season with a broken foot. He was replaced by Hostetler, who did not lose a game. The Giants' defense led the NFL in fewest points allowed (211), and the team set an NFL record by committing only 14 turnovers in the regular season.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After the season, seven Giants were selected to <a href="/wiki/1991_Pro_Bowl" title="1991 Pro Bowl">the Pro Bowl</a>. </p><p>In 2007, <a href="/wiki/ESPN.com" title="ESPN.com">ESPN.com</a> ranked the 1990 Giants' defense as the sixth-greatest in NFL history,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> noting that the team "allowed only 13.2 points a game against a very tough schedule – they played against seven playoff teams during the regular season.
