Now Ray Berry is no speedball; one of his legs is shorter than the other, and his eyes are so bad that he can barely see the ball without his contact lenses. No matter. Unitas stepped into the pocket and-plop!-laid the ball squarely in Berry's outstretched hands for a touchdown.

At the last second, Gifford doubled over, stretched out his right hand, and-plop-the ball landed in his palm for a 30-yd. gain. "I was only trying to bat it up in the air, but it stuck in my hand," said Gifford modestly. "I figured he had it all along," yawned Tittle, who has seen the same circus act all year...
