The 1963 NFL Championship Game was the 31st annual championship game, played on December 29 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. The game pitted the visiting New York Giants (11–3) of the Eastern Conference against the Chicago Bears (11–1–2) of the Western Conference. Originally, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle had asked Bears owner/coach George Halas to move the game to Soldier Field due to its higher seating capacity and lights, and the possibility the game could extend into multiple overtime periods; Wrigley Field did not have lights until 1988. rdf:langString
La finale del campionato NFL 1963 è stata la 31ª del campionato della NFL. La gara si tenne il 29 dicembre 1964 al Wrigley Field di Chicago, Illinois. In origine, il Commissioner della lega Pete Rozelle chiese al proprietario/allenatore dei Bears George Halas di spostare la gara al Soldier Field per la sua maggiore capienza e per la possibilità di sfruttare l'impianto di illuminazione. Quando Halas rifiutò, Rozelle fissò l'ora del calcio d'inizio alle 12.05. rdf:langString

rdf:langString The 1963 NFL Championship Game was the 31st annual championship game, played on December 29 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. The game pitted the visiting New York Giants (11–3) of the Eastern Conference against the Chicago Bears (11–1–2) of the Western Conference. Originally, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle had asked Bears owner/coach George Halas to move the game to Soldier Field due to its higher seating capacity and lights, and the possibility the game could extend into multiple overtime periods; Wrigley Field did not have lights until 1988. After Halas declined the request, Rozelle moved the game's starting time up to 12:05 p.m. CST for increased daylight, similar to the situation in 1960 at Franklin Field. The Championship Game was played in temperatures under 10 °F (−12 °C). The Giants were in their third consecutive championship game and fifth in the last six seasons. They lost to the Baltimore Colts in 1958 and 1959, and the Green Bay Packers in 1961 and 1962. The Bears were in their first Championship Game since a loss to the Giants in 1956 at Yankee Stadium, and had last won in 1946, defeating the Giants at the Polo Grounds. This was the fifth and final NFL Championship Game at Wrigley Field, which hosted the first in 1933, as well as 1937, 1941, and 1943. The Bears won four, with the only loss in 1937. Tickets were $12.50, $10, and $6. NBC paid the league $926,000 for the broadcast rights.

Quando Halas rifiutò, Rozelle fissò l'ora del calcio d'inizio alle 12.05. I Giants, allenati da Allie Sherman, erano noti per il loro attacco potente, che segnò 448 punti in 14 partite. Erano guidati dal quarterback Y.A. Tittle che quell'anno lanciò un record NFL di 36 passaggi da touchdown. Altri giocatori importanti dell'attacco erano i Pro Bowler Del Shofner e Frank Gifford. La difesa della squadra, classificata quinta nella lega quell'anno, era capitanata dal futuro membro della Pro Football Hall of Fame Sam Huff. Per quanto riguarda i Bears invece, il loro punto forte era la difesa soprannominata Monsters of the Midway. Guidata dal coordinatore difensivo , questa concesse solamente 144 punti in 14 partite e aveva tra le sue file il futuro hall of famer Doug Atkins. L'attacco dei Bears, guidato dal quarterback Bill Wade, prima scelta assoluta del Draft NFL 1952, non era ai livelli di quello dei Giants, ma poteva contare su un futuro hall of famer come il tight end Mike Ditka.
