Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Big Blue Wrecking Crew — The lore states that the Giants held the Buffalo Bills to 10 first downs in Super Bowl XXV, but the actual number of first downs by the Bills in that game was 18, not 10.

The Big Blue Wrecking Crew — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section repeats the same incorrect claim about limiting the Bills to 10 first downs in Super Bowl XXV.

The Super Bowl XXI Miracle — Phil Simms was the first Giants quarterback to win a Super Bowl MVP, not the second.

The 1956 Giants — The claim that the Giants played at Yankee Stadium 'before Polo Grounds renovations and later Giants Stadium' is factually incorrect; the correct sequence is Polo Grounds (1925–1955), then Yankee Stadium (1956–1973), then Giants Stadium (1976–present).

Eli Manning's Two Super Bowls — The claim that Manning's victory in Super Bowl XLVI made him the first player to lead his team to a comeback from a 9-point deficit in two different Super Bowls is inaccurate; the deficit in XLVI was not a consistent 9-point deficit at the time of the comeback

Eli Manning's Two Super Bowls — The claim that both of Eli's Super Bowl wins came against teams with undefeated or near-undefeated records is an exaggeration; the 2011 Patriots had a 13-3 record, which is not near-undefeated.

Lawrence Taylor's Defensive Dominance — The entry states Taylor played inside linebacker, but he played outside linebacker.

Lawrence Taylor's Defensive Dominance — The entry claims Y.A. Tittle's number 14 was retired while he was still playing, but Tittle had retired after the 1964 season before the number was retired in 1965.

Y.A. Tittle — The entry states Tittle led the NFL in passing yards in 1957, but he did not; he led in passing touchdowns that year, while Johnny Unitas led in passing yards.

Y.A. Tittle — The entry claims Tittle's jersey number 16 is officially retired by the New York Giants, but the Giants do not officially retire jersey numbers; they have a Ring of Honor.

Lawrence Taylor — The entry states Taylor produced double-digit sacks every season from 1984 through 1990 except for 1985, when he had 9.5. However, Taylor had 11.5 sacks in 1985, not 9.5.

Harry Carson — In Super Bowl XXI, Carson officially had 6 tackles, not 7.

Harry Carson — The Crunch Bunch originally referred to the trio of Brad Van Pelt, Brian Kelley, and Harry Carson; Lawrence Taylor was not part of that nickname.
