Re: "Did you think Gifford got the first down? My grandfather swears he did."
I recall it was close, but not that close. The Giants went 3 and out after getting the Overtime kickoff. They punted and the Colts' marched 80 yards with Alan Ameche scoring on a one yard plunge!

I was a big, BIG Colts fan back then. The old Dallas NFL Rangers had folded and moved to Baltimore becoming the Colts. Johnnu U was my man!
Yeah, those were the days...
To be that young and that limber again!
Unitas said they weren't even thinking about a FG on that game winning drive.
