Bears’ Justin Fields will show you one or two reasons every week why he can be one of the most intriguing QBs in the league, but he’s no Red Grange.
The people were angry. They’d been packed all day into the Polo Grounds — well over 70,000 of them if you counted standing room, the kids who snuck under turnstiles and the adults who’d snuck a dollar into the palms of friendly ushers.
They’d come, most of them, not to cheer for the hometown Giants, who a few months earlier had been born thanks to a $500 investment by a local bookmaker named Tim Mara. The Giants were having a fine maiden season at 7-3, but hadn’t exactly captured the city’s imagination — a week earlier, a 23-0 whitewash of the Dayton Triangles had barely drawn 18,000 to the Upper Manhattan grounds.
Then, Bears coach George Halas acceded to their wishes early in the fourth quarter, sending Grange back into the game. The crowd roared. And soon enough, it would nearly implode: Mike Palm, the Giants’ quarterback, dropped to pass, his team trailing 12-7. He flung the ball from the shadow of his end zone.Right into the waiting arms of Harold Edward Grange, who intercepted it.
“I think you learn a lot about yourself when you play, when you coach, and like I’ve said, we’re a work in progress,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday. “We’re still working to improve in a lot of different areas. I think we’ve done some things well, we’ve done some things we can improve on, all of us.”
