I remember this game vividly because it's the first time I had seen the Rams helmet, my Uncle who was more like a big brother was 5 years older and showed me cards of Roman Gabriel and the Rams logo along with Deacon Jones, but all of us were at my Grandparent's house that day celebrating a birthday just before Christmas and all of my older cousin's, uncle's, grandfather & father were rooting for the Giants because a win would have propelled the Giants into the playoffs and I said in a crowded Parlor (that called that back then) how cool the Ram helmet was and go Rams!
Obviously everyone asked me to leave the room, but i didn't and I'm sure I went in and out of the room, however, I remember asking who's winning? And a few of my cousin's saying "Den go away." Many of my relatives to this day have talked about that game and how at such a young age, they witnessed my passion and knew I would play the game and root for the Rams and well, they were right about that and it was also the last regular season game George Allen coached.
Rams 31 Giants 3.
