To commemorate their ninetieth anniversary, the Giants wore a special patch on their jerseys. In addition, the team wore white pants instead of gray for two home games versus the [[Indianapolis Colts]] in Week 9 on [[Monday Night Football]] and two weeks later against the [[San Francisco 49ers]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Salomone|first1=Dan|title=Which games will Giants wear white pants?|url=http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/Which-games-will-Giants-wear-white-pants/0d2e6649-0cb6-4d85-af45-3e773736e993|website=www.giants.com|access-date=4 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140702152920/http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/Which-games-will-Giants-wear-white-pants/0d2e6649-0cb6-4d85-af45-3e773736e993|archive-date=2 July 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> With their loss to the Jaguars on November 30, 2014, the Giants sealed their second consecutive losing season and suffered back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since [[2003 New York Giants season|2003]]—[[2004 New York Giants season|2004]].
 
The Giants' 2014 season was plagued by a 7-game losing streak in the middle of the season, their longest since [[2004 New York Giants season|2004]] and a league-leading 22 players on the injured reserve list, including star wide receiver [[Victor Cruz (American football)|Victor Cruz]], by the end of the season.

This was the first Sunday Night Football game held in MetLife Stadium following a one-season absence.
 
With the loss, the Giants fell to 3-8, and were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after the Lions defeated the Bears on Thanksgiving four days later. This game, however, is best known for an acrobatic one-handed catch by Odell Beckham Jr. early in the 2nd quarter that wouldis gowidely downregarded as one of the greatest catches in NFL history. A penalty marker flew as he made the catch - for pass interference on [[Brandon Carr]], who had been covering Beckham on that play. The catch was also the Giants 3,000th touchdown in franchise history, including postseason play.

In this game, Odell Beckham Jr. broke Giants' franchise records for most receptions by a rookie and most receiving yards by a rookie, previously set by Jeremy Shockey in 2002. Beckham also topped 1,000 yards receiving for the season. In both cases, this was achieved despite Beckham missing the first four games of the season. This game was also infamous for a benchesbench-clearing brawl in the second quarter.
 
Because the Rams moved to Los Angeles in 2016, this is the last time the Giants played in St. Louis.
