They went from 7-7 to football heaven. Who could have seen this coming? Nobody. And that's what makes it unforgettable.

The Giants 2011-12 season was a season that will know no calendar. In the years to come when they think of them, the power and grace of an Eli Manning throw will never fade.

Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul will forever be unmovable objects standing up to the teeth of an offense.

And Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham will always catch the uncatchable passes. The season for the ages is all here.
