In 1970 McElhenny would make it to the Hall of Fame.

Bears Doug Atkins and Ed O'Bradovich put the heat on Giants back-up quarterback Glynn Griffin on his sole pass attempt of the 1963 Title game - it was incomplete. YA Tittle was sent to the sideline late in the first half with a leg-injury and Griffin appeared briefly. Tittle returned in the 3rd quarter to finish the game.
