Sunday, September 12, 2016 I went to my first New York Giants football game. It was cold
outside and the wind was blowing viciously. It was around 12:30 in the afternoon and you could
finally feel the suns heat on your skin after a very chill morning. Everyone was finishing up
tailgating and is heading inside to go get their seats and watch the warmups. The Giants were

the Eagles finally went to the air game but on Eagles QB Carson Wentz’s first throw he threw an
interception giving the Giants the ball back. The Giants went back down and scored again giving
us a 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. When the Eagles got back on the field they started with a
