Flashback Friday: Giants destroy Bears in 1956 NFL Championship Game

The New York Giants and Chicago Bears have an illustrious history going back to 1925, when the Giants joined the NFL. Over the years, the two teams met in the NFL Championship Game six times: 1933, 1934, 1941, 1946, 1956 and 1963.

The Bears won in ’33, ’41, ’46 and ’63, while the Giants won in ’34 (the “Sneakers” game) and in 1956. The two clubs would go on to meet twice more in the NFC playoffs. In 1985, the Bears shut out the Giants, 21-0, en route to their only Super Bowl championship. In 1990, the Giants dominated Chicago on their way to their second Lombardi Trophy.
