| A Giants press guide from 1952 |
Weather-53 degrees, 5 mph E
The Giants and 49ers battled for nearly 5 quarters before Charlie Conerly and Eddie Price were able to piece together a drive, gaining 56 yards in 8 plays on their way to a game-winning field goal and a 13-10 overtime win. Neither team's passing game was able to generate a consistent attack, but the Giants were able to avoid the turnovers that wound up killing the Niners. The Giants turned a pair of interceptions (one each from Emlen Tunnell and Tom Landry) into 10 points. New York RB Eddie Price ran for 101 yards and caught a 57-yard pass from backup QB Fred Benners that tied the game in the fourth quarter.
The Giants will travel to Tiger Stadium next Sunday to face the Detroit Lions, the top seed in the 1952 NFL Playoffs.
