The 2006 New York Giants season began with the team trying to improve on their 11–5 record in 2005 which saw them win the NFC East. They did not win the NFC East or improve on that record falling to 8–8 on the season after starting 6–2. However head coach Tom Coughlin became the first Giants head coach since Bill Parcells to lead the team to consecutive playoff berths as the team qualified as one of two NFC wild card teams.
