- In the 1956 NFL Championship Game was the league's 24th championship game, played at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx in New York City on December 30. The New York Giants (8–3–1) won the Eastern Conference title and hosted the Chicago Bears (9–2–1), the Western Conference champions. The teams had met in the regular season five weeks earlier on November 25 at Yankee Stadium and played to a 17–17 tie; the Bears entered the championship game in late December as slight favorites. The Giants hosted because the home field for the title game alternated between the conferences; home field advantage was not implemented until 1975. Both teams had been absent from the league title game for a decade, when the Bears won the championship over the Giants at the Polo Grounds in 1946. The Giants' most recent NFL title was before World War II, in 1938. The 1956 season marked the Giants' first at Yankee Stadium, moving across the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds. This was the first championship since 1949 without the Cleveland Browns, who had appeared in six consecutive since joining the NFL in 1950. The 1956 Giants featured a number of Hall of Fame players, including safety Emlen Tunnell, running backs Frank Gifford and Alex Webster, offensive tackle Roosevelt Brown, linebacker Sam Huff, and defensive end Andy Robustelli. Two assistants of Giants head coach Jim Lee Howell, offensive coordinator Vince Lombardi and defensive coordinator Tom Landry, later became Hall of Fame head coaches with other franchises; Lombardi coached the Green Bay Packers to five NFL Championships during the 1960s and Landry led the Dallas Cowboys to five Super Bowls, with two wins, during the 1970s. He was the head coach of the Cowboys for 29 seasons, through 1988. (en)
- La finale del campionato NFL 1956 è stata la 24ª del campionato della NFL. La gara si tenne il 30 dicembre 1956 allo Yankee Stadium di New York tra New York Giants e Chicago Bears. La gara si tenne su un campo ghiacciato. Per tale motivo, i Giants optarono per indossare scarpe da ginnastica al posto delle tradizionali scarpe da football, fattore che diede un vantaggio decisivo ai padroni di casa. Ventidue anni prima, in un Polo Grounds ugualmente congelato, i Giants avevano utilizzato la stessa tattica per vincere il titolo del 1934 nella partita passata alla storia come "Sneakers Game". Questo fu l'ultimo titolo per la franchigia dei Giants per trent'anni. (it)
