Giants vs. Lions Thanksgiving game in 1982 was a defensive showdown #shorts #nfl #giants #nygiants
[Music] Giants fans, did you know Thanksgiving Day 1982, the Giants are playing the Lions now. Joe Danelloo kicks a couple field goals in the third quarter. Not a lot of scoring going on in this game. It’s 66 early in the fourth quarter when Lawrence Taylor, who had a sack in this game, intercepts Gary Danielson. He’s looking for King intercepted. He’s going to go down the right side. Lawrence Taylor the 20, 30, down to the 40. He might go all the way. He’s going to go in. Up dog. He goes 97 yardds for a touchdown. And suddenly the Giants are in front by a score of 13-6. Now the Giants still needed their defense late in this game. The Lions were driving. They were at about the Giant 21 yd line when Terry Jackson intercepted Danielson to help secure the victory. But the game remembered as Lawrence Taylor’s 97yard pick six.

Just glossing over the made extra point as if it's automatic? We miss those glory days
Legend LT
I remember this game. That's when I became a giant
Terry Jackson was really under-rated.
Golden years
The greatest defensive player of all time. LT the legend.

Iconic Jim Gordon
YEAH, I'M 71, SAW THAT GAME ON TV. THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE FUN TO WATCH, ESPECIALLY WITH "LT" ALWAYS HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO DO SOMETHING GREAT; UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY I AM AN NFL FOOTBALL FAN WITHOUT A TEAM TO ROOT FOR, BECAUSE I AM STILL A GIANTS FAN!! LOSER!! WELL, I STILL CAN ROOT FOR THE 1ST OVERALL PICK IN THE 2026 COLLEGE DRAFT; OTHERWISE, ANOTHER COLD, DARK WINTER; SAD.
