Sporting Witness - American Football's "Greatest Game"

How the "Greatest Game" in American Football turned the sport into a modern phenomenon.

In 1958, the New York Giants played the Baltimore Colts in the NFL championship game.

The match was so exciting it turned American Football into a successful television sport virtually overnight.

The clash became known as the "Greatest Game".

Sporting Witness talks to veteran American sports commentator, Bob Wolff, who covered the match.
