Amazing watching footage in color hd

I've seen this clip many times, I keep coming back to it and honestly Unitas, I don't care if it was football or a military man in a world war, this guy was something else. An incomparable leader of men, tremendous guts, simply ice cold fearless! So glad I was keeping up with football when he was playing. Toughest QB that ever played the game, NO ONE IS IN HIS LEAGUE!!!

amazing fact:: tom landry was the defensive coordinator and vince lombardi was the offensive coordinator for the giants this year.

Unitas called his own plays and made his own game plan. He was not protected from late hits by any rule. His receivers did not wear "sticky gloves. His receivers were not protected by rules against contact by defenders. You can't say that about ANY QB of the last 35 or so years. The game has been cheapened.

Watch Johnny Unitas after Amichi scores. (a different film) The greatest game ever played ... the greatest play in that game ... winning the NFL championship ... and Unitas walks off like, "Ho hum ... just another day at the office." Amazing ... nerves of steel.

Unitis had the quickest release I've ever seen.

My grandpa played with Alan Ameche in high school

“Unitas gives to Ameche, THE COLTS ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS” Great legendary call

The Greatest Game Ever Played. The 1958 NFL Championship Game Between The Baltimore Colts And The New York Football Giants Paved The Way For The First Modern Overtime Game In Super Bowl History In Super Bowl 51 Between The Atlanta Falcons And The New England Patriots In 2017

Johnny Unitas' record for passing yards stood for many years which tells you how good he was.

My great grandad played in this game! He was #45 of the Giants!

My grandpas cousin played this game he was number 81 defensive

I was there (14 years old) with my brother (10 years old) and my uncle Frank who took us to the game at Yankee Stadium. We had $5.00 standing and room only tickets so you had to go about two hours early to get a good place to stand. We stood behind the seats on the second deck and were close to the 50 yard line. It was very cold in the 20's and 30's and you had to be out for about 5-6 hours to see the whole game. Needless to say we were frozen by the games end. We were rabid Giants fans and were most disappointed by the result. A truly exciting game especially for a couple of kids. I still have the $ 0.50 game program. Ahhh, the nostalgia!

I watched this game on an old black and white tv.

0:38 that guy looks like hed make a great coach for the jets

Look at around the 3:40 mark and watch how Unitas just turns and walks away after Ameche scores. There's no stupid dances or selfie picture taking. This is how a leader is supposed to act!!!!! You don't have to throw it in the opponents face that they loss, they know it!

Greatest game ever played, period!!!

1:33 tiny uprights

We got this one and we got 2 Super Bowl 💍's

The Bonnar/Griffin of football

The only way a championship game would be better than this under today's rules is if the Super Bowl goes into overtime and either 1) Team A kicks a field goal only for Team B to score a touchdown or B) Team A and Team B both kick field goals and it's sudden death.

Colts baby. LET'S GO!

don't forget Graham did it 1950 vs the Rams, march the team to a last second win.

i dont understand y Jerry Richardson wasnt on there to talk about the championship. he made good plays during that game

Two weeks before this game was played, the 49ers beat the Colts at Kezar Stadium. Johnny U came off the bench in this came to replace George Shaw. My dad was at this game. Johnny U or Joe M. ? I love the niners, but I have to go with Jonny U. Plus his cameo on the Simpsons is all-time. "is my lip supposed to bleed?" Probably. Classic.

This was when men played pro football.

In my opinion, the next most nailbiter game 2021 Buffalo Bills-Kansas City Chiefs Divisional Round playoff game, so much so the NFL modified, overtime, play-off rules.

My mom's a Giants fan, always talks about this game

This was basically the NFL's birth

What's the song at 1:51?

Since this video dropped 2 Super Bowls have gone to OT LI NE-ATL 28-3 LVIII SF-KC II 2021 AFC Divisional BUF-KC 13 seconds in Kansas City I think they could lay claim to best OT finish ever

Props to the ref securing the game ball. High priced piece of memorabilia now lol

To be a Top 5 Clutch QB, you gotta have game winning drives in the Super Bowl/NFL Championship. I would have it Unitas, Brady, Montana, Elway, And probably Mahomes

Greatest QBs of All Time are #1 Johnny Unitas and #2 Tom Brady. Both won Super Bowls with come from behind over time

The most important game ever,yes but greatest? Hell no! 1967 NFL championship game Green bay vs Dallas is my pick as #1 Played in - 13° at the start by the 3rd qtr it was -29° and it came down to the final seconds. UNBELIEVABLE that men played a game under those conditions.

I commented

Al Ameche - Wisconsin Badger legend

REAL FOOTBALL

what was the colts qbs name?

Hi

I was at this game

Ah yes, THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED.

Kickers were much less reliable back then. The Colts opting to go for the TD was nothing special.

This appears to be missing one to the most important plays of the game. With only two minutes to go in the game, the Giants only needed a first down to run out the clock. Gifford got the ball on third down and a yard to go. The officials said he came up short and the Giants had to punt the ball. The Colts tied it up and sent it into overtime. Gifford always maintained that he made the first down and the official made a mistake in where he put the down, causing Giff to be short. Gifford also said the ref came up to him after the game and admitted his mistake and apologized. Did Giff make that first down? We'll never know. But it was the turning point of the game.

#1 Montana #2 Brady (Soon to be Number 1 for me if he won the 8th Ring) #3 Johnny Unitas

GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED

Best Overtime game I saw was Miami and San Diego, January fourth 1982. 41-38. Miami lost.

#BLEEDBLUE

Yeah, I'll bet Unitas didn't have any luxury of any penalties in his favor like how it is today! It was truly brutal the way defensive players got away with fouls back then. Of course it went both ways for both teams. Todays people in charge of the NFL makes it so that ALL TEAMS have a chance in making a comeback. That sounds great except it's not real, if a team is so dominant they should beat the hell out of another team and no made up rules should interfere with that, but that's truly and really what the NFL has done to pro football! It's the NFL's way of 'welfare!'

)

Nobody talks about being at the 10 and THROWING the ball!! None of this go for the FG BS. Now, everybody plays for a FG. Nobody has the balls to throw for a TD, when a FG will win the game. Don't bring up that Seahawks Super Bowl, that's different. They had to score a TD to win the game. This game, the BALTIMORE COLTS only needed a FG.

What happened to that clown who stole the ball from Amichi?

First

myrha's kick to tie it looked no good

0:30 these are not the New York Giants these are the Detroit Lions. Why are they showing footage of them?

Peter King asks "What QB can drive the length of the field twice, on the road, to win the biggest game of his career?" Tom fucking Brady, that's who.

where is Tim Tebow vs Steeler at?????

My grandpa played with Alan Ameche in high school
