The inevitable showdown between the
vaunted Browns and the stalwart Colts...1958...simpler times...close to the
vest football with an emerging public popularity...forty one degrees in
Baltimore and the Colts assert themselves with a 6 yard run in the first
quarter with Ameche putting Baltimore up 7-0...
Jim Brown, the great Cleveland back, who would accrue 95
hard-earned yards on the day, answers with a 12 yard dash in the second
quarter, Cleveland tying the game at 7...
Groza, Cleveland's tackle and kicker adds a chip shot field
goal to give the Browns a 10-7 lead...but the Colts come back behind Unitas'
70% passing as he finds Raymond Berry in the third quarter, giving Baltimore a
slim lead of 14-10...
The Browns, in the tradition of the old NFL clubs, battles back
behind Milt Plum, a 38 yard strike for a touchdown and the Browns regain the
lead, 17-14, in a classic battle...
Baltimore mixes its plays and utilizes all of its formidable
weapons as the game wears down...
Ameche with 116 yards on the ground...Lenny Moore with 112
yards rushing...Unitas with 178 yards in the air...two interceptions by
Baltimore...the fourth quarter would be all Colts as they pull away for a
35-17 win over a fine Cleveland club! (contributed by Chuck "CD"
