 Taylor rebounded in the early stages of what many thought would be his final season in 1992 . Through close to nine games Taylor was on pace for 10 sacks and the Giants were 5 – 4 . However , a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in a game on November 8 , 1992 against Green Bay sidelined him for the final seven games , during which the team went 1 – 6 . Before the injury Taylor had missed only four games due to injury in his 12 @-@ year career . Throughout the 1992 season , and the ensuing offseason , Taylor was noncommittal about his future , alternately saying he might retire , then later hinting he wanted a longer @-@ term contract .
