The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys plan to stage a pregame tribute honoring the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and first responders during their game at MetLife Stadium. Outlets report the tribute includes a prominent on-field presentation featuring a 100-yard U.S. flag.
The observance is tied to the 25th anniversary of 9/11, which falls on Friday. Yahoo Sports characterizes the league and game planning as elaborate, describing the NFL’s weekend-wide efforts to mark the anniversary across games. The New York Post focuses on the emotional tone and the scale of the specific pregame ceremonies planned for the Giants-Cowboys matchup.
While details of the exact sequence can vary by description, both reports agree the event is designed as a public commemoration connected to the anniversary and centered on the Giants’ home opener against the Cowboys.
