First place in the Eastern Conference is on the line as the New York Giants host the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants jump out to a 10-0 lead at the half, but the Eagles rally to win 17-10. The winning touchdown is a 38-yard fumble scoop and return by Jimmy Carr. The game’s iconic moment comes late in the fourth quarter when Chuck Bednarik knocks out Frank Gifford to clinch the win. Bednarik stands over a prone Gifford, celebrating by punching in the air. The win propels the Eagles to a championship, while Frank Gifford misses the next 18 months recovering from the concussion.
