The New York Giants entered the 1982 season with high expectations. They had qualified for the postseason the previous season for the first time since 1963 and wanted to build on that success.
But 1982 was not going to be kind to Giant fans. Neither would the next season, but we’ll save that for another time. The Giants began the year with a 16-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and then fell to the Green Bay Packers the next Monday night at home amid a power outage at Giants Stadium.
