Saw that newly restored in color, HD quality documentary on ESPN about this game, how cool was that! It brings this historic game home and then some!! My fav part was the late 4th quarter controversial spot of the Frank Gifford run for a 1st down which would have sealed the Giants win in regulation time. Colts D-linemen Gino Marchetti busts his leg during the play but manages to stick out most of the rest of the game watching from the sideline. What was sweet was how the documentary used a math formula and calculated where the correct spot of the ball could have been and whether it really was enough for a 1st down and the game. Using the two camera angles, the 35 and 40 yard lines and some vector lines, it was pretty obvious the ball was short. Giff was certain he had that 1st down though!

Just to remind you, the 1958 NFL Championship Game was played on December 28, 1958 at the soon to be the old Yankee Stadium in New York City. The Baltimore Colts won 23-17 in sudden death overtime over the New York Giants, the 1st sudden death OT game in NFL history. The game was also televised nationwide.

Did any of you see the documentary or remember watching the game?
