Flashbacks from the NFL Championship era filled MetLife Stadium Sunday afternoon. The Giants debuted their throwback home uniforms against the Chicago Bears, an NFC squad Big Blue faced in six separate NFL Championships before the Super Bowl’s existence. The turf was equipped with red end zones featuring the “GIANTS” namesake planted in the middle with classic two-bar football helmets on either side.
A pair of storied franchises and a nice vintage touch from the organization: it was an old-school football type of day. And it certainly felt that way, with an effective running game and superb defense headlining the 23-12 win for the Giants.
