Eli Penny grew up in Los Angeles rooting for the Rams.

The St. Louis Rams.

"The Super Bowl when they played the Titans, I just remember everybody in my house was going for the Rams so I was just like ‘All right, I’ll go for the Rams, too'," the Giants fullback told Newsday. "From there on out, they were my favorite team ... I just remember the Greatest Show on Turf."

On Sunday, he will be part of a Giants team that will play in Los Angeles for the first time in a quarter century.
