A championship team coached by Bill Parcells and his wunderkind assistant Bill Belichick, featuring future Hall of Famers and All-Pros like Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Mark Bavaro, and Harry Carson.

In Once a Giant, bestselling football writer Gary Myers tells the story of that team and what became of it.
