Some ’59 Baltimore Colts Notes

Alan Ameche crashed over from 1 yard away giving the Baltimore Colts a (23-17) overtime win vs the New York Giants to claim the 1958 NFL crown, in not so arguably pro football’s most important game.

I cite here that he also scored their next touchdown and it was in a win in what was a repeat title season in 1959. It occurred vs the Detroit Lions with the Colts down (10-0).

Baltimore played both the Lions and Bears twice each in their first four tilts in 1959.

The superb Lenny Moore now 90 years old was an integral part of the Baltimore Colts’ back to back title teams in 1958 and 1959.
