Giants win on a long field goal in overtime in this game played in below-zero weather in Green Bay. The kicker had missed two shorter attempts in regulation.
Terrible weather reminds me of a Mud Bowl I played in, in which we (Cal Tech) lost 85-0 to Whittier College, Nixon's old digs. The truth is, if you kept a childlike attitude, it was great fun! Playing in mud and all that. We always got slaughtered but we always had a ball.
"The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart." --Camus
