In 1958, a cold December afternoon witnessed a historic football game at Yankee Stadium. Two professional football teams battled for the National Football League Championship, and many consider it the greatest game ever played. The Giants took an early 3-0 lead with a field goal by Pat Summerall, but the Colts fought back, taking a 14-3 halftime advantage. Tensions were high as the third quarter began.

The Giants found themselves with their backs against the wall when the Colts were on their one-yard line. However, the Giants' defense held strong, and after a 95-yard drive, they clawed their way back into the game. Fullback Mel Triplett and Kyle Rote contributed to their resurgence. In the final quarter, Charlie Conerly connected with Frank Gifford for a touchdown, putting the Giants ahead 17-14.

Baltimore attempted to tie the game with a field goal but missed. With only 2 minutes and 25 seconds left, the Giants punted the ball to the Colts. Baltimore was 84 yards away from victory, and Johnny Unitas orchestrated a remarkable drive. In the final seconds, the Colts attempted a field goal, which proved successful, resulting in a 17-17 tie.

This tie forced the first sudden-death playoff in league history. The Giants won the toss but couldn't capitalize on their possession. The Colts took over, marched 80 yards in 12 plays, and sealed the victory with a touchdown, becoming the 1958 NFL champions.
