The 1999 season was the New York Giants' 75th in the National Football League (NFL) and their third under head coach Jim Fassel. The team failed to improve on their 8–8 record from the previous season, winning only seven games and missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.[1] This was the last season that the team had the script "GIANTS" on the helmet, being replaced with the NY logo for the 2000 season.
