The world changed between the time when the 2001 New York Giants took the field in Week 1 vs. Week 2. On Sept. 10, the Giants fell, 31-20, to the Denver Broncos. The next day is one that we all remember.
Giants owner John Mara told the New York Post that he received the news from then-Giants head coach Jim Fassel early in the morning of Sept. 11. He said that he walked to the top of the old Giants Stadium.
“I could see both towers on fire. It was a pretty stark image that I don’t think I’ll ever forget,” Mara said.
