Historic image of one of the seminal moments in sports history. This dazzling photo features the pinnacle moment in the Greatest Game Ever played (1958 NFL Championship Game) with Alan Ameche of the Baltimore Colts bulling his way across the goal line an overtime touchdown. This game ushered in the modern era of the NFL (and possibly sports itself) with TV becoming the major factor that would change the game (and games) for good or bad. First generation UPI photo was printed before 1968 with newspaper article affixed to verso. Repaired tear o/w EX+.
