The 2018 season was the New York Giants' 94th in the National Football League (NFL), their ninth playing their home games at MetLife Stadium and their first under head coach Pat Shurmur.

Despite starting 1–7 for the second consecutive year, the Giants managed to improve on their 3–13 campaign with a 30–27 win over the Chicago Bears.

After a 17–0 shutout loss to the Titans in Week 15, the Giants missed the playoffs for the second straight season.

[33] Having been cut as the roster was trimmed to the 53-man limit on September 1, Jawill Davis, Garrett Dickerson, Grant Haley, Jhurell Pressley, Alonzo Russell, Victor Salako, Avery Moss and Calvin Munson cleared waivers and were resigned to the practice squad.

They were joined over the following days by linebacker Ukeme Eligwe and defensive tackle Josh Banks, who had been waived by the Giants on September 2.

[63] On March 7, 2018, the Giants acquired linebacker Alec Ogletree from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a 4th (#135, John Franklin-Myers) and a 6th (#176.

[74] On August 26, 2018, the Giants traded center Brett Jones to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 7th round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

First round pick Saquon Barkley scored his first career NFL touchdown on a 68-yard run early in the fourth quarter.

Odell Beckham surpassed Lionel Taylor (319) for the most receptions by a player through his first 50 career games with 337 catches (he would be passed by Michael Thomas (346) in 2019).

Similar to the Eagles game in Week 3 last season, the Giants rallied back in the 4th quarter, but were overshadowed by a 63-yard game-winning field goal by Graham Gano.

A few drives later, Barkley caught a screen pass from Eli Manning and took it 56 yards into the red zone, but once again the Giants had to settle for a field goal.

The Giants managed to complete a comeback over the 49ers with Sterling Shepard's game-winning touchdown with 53 seconds remaining.

The Giants came out hot in a must win game, but squandered a 19–3-second quarter lead when Manning forced a pick deep in Eagles territory, who responded with a touchdown and 2-point conversion.

The Giants won in overtime and was Eli Manning's 37th and final game-winning drive in his career, which at the time put him in 9th place all-time.

Kicker Aldrick Rosas converted the longest field goal in Giants franchise history to end the first half.

The Titans were able to silence Saquon Barkley while Derrick Henry finally broke through the Giants defense after wearing them down.
