in Baltimore and there's been some well some pleasant rivalry built up through these great contests it's also when Johnny Unitas gets together with why a tittle a Johnny Unitas and a Baltimore team when he's leading mmm never lost to the New York Football Giants and a Lee Sherman the young effervescent coach for the New York Football Giants has never won an opening-day game so this is very important to both teams first for Baltimore United's throwing extremely well to his fine receivers Jimmy or put in for Lenny more at the flanker spot Jimmy has that touchdown pass and also John Mackey the big 220 pound rookie at the tight end spot for Baltimore as a touchdown Unitas at halftime 10 for 15 for 121 yards and two touchdown passes Unitas the classic example of a pro quarterback smart

was with the old Baltimore Co now he's a giant why I started this ball game out as you might recall with our ground game stayed inside with Webster and Phil King but now he's beginning to loosen up run the swing passes and the screen why it's in a half time 14 for 19 for 194 yards and three touchdown passes tittle against Johnny Unitas how about the coaches well 33 years old Don Shula the youngest football coach in the NFL and in his first year as head man from Baltimore Don with a very fine cornerback for the defensive Baltimore Colts 53 through 1956 and of course he wants to get

on keeping the ball second down there's grill me the keeper again even games two yards that should be it Giants have come to play today and they do get the victory it's 37 to 28 the New York Football Giants over the Baltimore Colts a great battle between Johnny Unitas who had two touchdown passed in the first half and ye tittle who came along for a three TD passes in that second quarter and then ran for a big one in the third quarter only to find himself with bad ribs this injury kept why did Allah from playing the next week against Pittsburgh the Giants were swamped 31 to nothing without their great signal caller a great ball game though 37 to 28 Baltimore in the West a New York Giants early contenders in the Eastern Division the final score from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium the New York Giants 37 the Baltimore copes 28 a big ballgame and I don't think any of us will argue about the big factor the New York giant defensive ballclub has had once again in a big New York victory the New York Giants with a big boys up front Andy Rove estelí moja Leske lo vetere the boy obtained the rams and jim cat cabbage really put the rush on Johnny Unitas in the last half of course Tom Scott at one linebacking spot and winter at the other outside spot plus Sam Huff number 70 put the blitz on to united said five completions in the second half of action after a very very fine - touchdown first half so this has to be the difference of the football game from a defensive standpoint the secondary came up with two big interceptions for New York and of course this results in winning football how about why a tiddle the other quarterback why a though hurt in that quarter when he scored the touchdown on the ground he has bad ribs and this could well affect the Eastern Division chances for coach ally Sherman and all the New York Giants number 14 was 14 for 23 243 yards and three touchdown passes and of course he scored them on the ground when he was hurt remember now he used the swing pass tremendously he also used the screen and the draw this is ye to let his best semi roll throw back all the screens all the moves of a great quarterback tittle will be missed if he cannot return to that lineup at once and Johnny Unitas the first time a Baltimore Colt team with Johnny Unitas as quarterback has never lost to the DPR Football Giants another first the first time coach Tommy Sherman in his third year as coach the New York Football Giants has ever won on opening day and yet he's been in the title two straight times and of course he wants to make it three in a row a couple of stats that might be important when a Baltimore Colts 295 total yards pretty close to New York Giants 362 total yards in the ballgame but they still count on points than the Giants at 37 and the Baltimore Colts only 28 I think this also bears that warning that the Baltimore Colts will be a team to worry about in the Western Division while the New York Giants certainly a team to beat in East next week on the well game of the week we'll have two teams that certainly have to be worked with in the Eastern Division race this year of 1963 the Cleveland Browns with big Jimmy Brown the all-time ground gainer in there at fullback against a young upstart club led by Tom Landry a next giant that's coaching down there the Dallas Cowboys Dallas explosive with extremely fine young personnel will try to challenge well the big heavy veteran ballclub called the Cleveland Browns today's game though a classic example I think of great defensive football and how you can control the ball from the other side the New York Giants 37 the Baltimore Colts 28 Johnny Unitas shutout in the second half and that's the story this has been Tom Brookshire on the NFL game of the week see you next week
