Most historians called that Giants/Colts game the greatest ever. Goes to OT at 17-17.
The story I heard was that the Colts owner had a massive bet on the game, laying Colts -3.5. Apparently, he walked to sidelines in OT and told the coach that he had to score a TD! A Field Goal would not do. So, he insisted on the TD to get the cover. When Ameche plunged in, it was for the cover.
