This is the 1957 nfl championship game synced with NBC's original radio broadcast. It's by no means perfect but you get a pretty good feel for the game.
Tobin Rote, Lions quarterback, is the answer to a trivia question. Who quarterbacked a team to both an NFL and AFL championship victory? In addition to the Lions in 1957, he also quarterbacked the San Diego Chargers to an AFL championship win over the Patriots in 1963.
this is the LAST TIME THE LIONS WON AN NFL TITLE!!!!!!!!!! the lions only won 1 playoff game from 1957 till the present ( 2/18/2021) when they beat the cowboys in 1991!!!!!!!!!!!!! the next week the lions lost to the redskins in the nfc championship game AND HAVE NOT WON A PLAYOFF GAME SINCE 1991 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I actually saw this game in person with a close friend. We had standing room tickets but ended up sitting on the steps of an aisle on the 50 yd line. Great memories for a longtime Lion fan. I was 19 at the time.
The Detroit Lions drought is 65 years old or shall we say longer than 70% of the current population has been alive. I thought 1991 would finally be their year after decisively winning the divisional playoff game but it all fell apart a week later. It's been a rocky road since. Perhaps the Ford family needs to sell the team and stick to selling cars. For the Browns this was Jim Brown's rookie year.
at the 11:58 mark in regards to jim martin of the lions making tne extra point which landed in the stands, how much IS THAT FOOTBALL WORTH?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOBBY LAYNE(on crutches in the vid.) never played a prominent role for Detroit again after his 1957 injury. In '58, after two games played, one as a starter, he was off to PITTSBURGH to play for his old LIONS boss, BUDDY PARKER. GEORGE WILSON was the LIONS ROOKIE head coach in 1957.. Later WILSON was the original AFL DOLPHINS HEAD MAN. His son played for him at MIAMI.. WILSON AND PARKER at one time were coaches on the LIONS, with Wilson assisting PARKER. Meanwhile, LAYNE, a TEXAN, was my late Dad's ALL-TIME favorite NFL player. RIP LAYNE, WILSON AND PARKER..AND T. ROTE..three of the four were TEXANS, but not WILSON.
@@michaelleroy9281I wouldn't give a damn I can't believe Coach Brown dropped the ball like that and not utilize Jim Brown they basically gave the Lions the championship
It seems strange to watch the TV minimalist RAY SCOTT being a wordy describer on Radio play-by-play.. Both ways can be right if done correctly. Finally, that was a big mistake made by a national announcer with the mixing up of the Carpenter bros. Ray Scott is a legend in our business, but the goof is inexcusable. LEW= 30..PRESTON= 40.. L comes before P in the alphabet..#30 comes before 40..memorize it that way.. and didn't RAY SCOTT have a lineup and depth chart board? You'd think a guy with a brother who was also at the time a famous announcer, HAL SCOTT, would be sensitive to getting brothers in the right order.. PRESTON in 1957 was a receiver, too. LEW was a runningback. R.I.P., RAY SCOTT..
The Lions' last postseason win until the 1991 NFC Divisional Playoffs. Also, the last time they have won multiple playoff games in the same postseason until 2023.
