Alan Ameche Scored the Winning TD in the 1958 NFL Championship Game - still referred to today as ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played.’ It is still the only ever NFL Championship Game to have gone into overtime. The game featured numerous Hall of Famers on both sides, but the hero was Alan Ameche, whose 2nd touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run, gave the Baltimore Colts a 23-17 overtime victory over the New York Giants in Yankee Stadium. The game was watched on television by more than 45 million people across the country, and is widely credited as being one of the key factors in the league’s popularity boom that followed in the years to come.

Game of the Day
1970 NBA Finals - Knicks vs Lakers in Game 7
Knicks Win NBA Championship in 1970 - With Bill Russell retiring after the 1969 season, the NBA Eastern Division was finally open to all contenders, and the New York Knickerbockers took full advantage and finished in first place with 60 wins. They were led by MVP Willis Reed, First team All-Star Guard Walt Frazier, Forwards Dave DeBusschere and Bill Bradley, and guard Dick Barnett. Coach Red Holzman emphasized team defense, a cohesive team offense and a deep bench led by Mike Riordan, Dave Stallworth, and Cazzie Russell. In a devastating moment to the team, Willis Reed was injured in the finals, and almost everyone thought the Knicks championship run was over. In one of the most inspirational and memorable sports moments of all time, just before Game 7 of the NBA Finals an injured Willis Reed emerged onto the Madison Square Garden floor shortly before tip-off. He dragged his injured leg on to the floor playing just a few minutes before retiring to the bench for the rest of the game. The emotionally rejuvenated Knicks beat the Lakers that night 113–99 to win the championship.
