Scarce program from the NFL's infancy featuring the New York Football Giants vs. the Rochester Jeffersons on November 11, 1925 at the Polo Grounds. 1925 was the inaugural season for the Giants with this being only the fifth home game in franchise history. While of course the Giants still exist today the Rochester Jeffersons are most remembered for being a 1920 charter member of the NFL, though at that time the league was known as the American Profession Football Association (APFA). Unfortunately for "The Jeffs" they folded following the 1925 season.

Program cover is starting to separate at spine but remains largely intact. A thin vertical front cover hole appears in upper right corner and a light scrape is present on page below. Despite hole, inside front cover includes a fantastic team photo of the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds.
