From the Publisher:

A riveting account of the game that changed the course of pro football--and of the men who played it Long before the Giants' historic defeat of the Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl, there was another game many people considered "The Greatest Game Ever Played." The 1958 NFL Championship Game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants skyrocketed the sport to mega-popularity. The first nationally televised football game, it featured unprecedented drama, a slew of future Hall of Famers, and something new--overtime. One Sunday in December thoroughly chronicles this legendary game. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with players who were there--including Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, Pat Summerall, Raymond Berry, Lenny Moore, Gino Marchetti, and Art Donovan--veteran sportswriter Lou Sahadi tells the story of the game, the men who played it, and the fascinating circumstances that led up to it. He delivers an action-packed narrative that will take football fans across America back to one Sunday they will never forget.
