What have the Colts done to me? They haven't beaten San Francisco since Weeb Ewbank was alive. And though it is true that Bob Irsay was a little mean for moving the club from Baltimore in the middle of the night, it's not like I live east of the Mississippi...
Thrice in a 15-play march third downs required something wonderful. On a third-and-18 play near midfield, Coach Dan Reeves advised Elway to try for just half of it, recalling the cautious voice of Baltimore Coach Weeb Ewbank that Johnny Unitas never heeded in the Colt-Giant sudden-death championship game of 1958.

The squat, 61-year-old veteran of both leagues, still hobbling from a hip injury he suffered when his players carried him off the field after winning the American Football League title two weeks before, seemed blissfully unaware that his team was a three-touchdown underdog against the mighty Baltimore Colts, overwhelming champions of the National Football League.
