The 1958 Baltimore Colts season was the sixth season for the team in the
National Football League. The Baltimore Colts finished the 1958 season
with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses and finished first in the Western
Conference. They would go on to defeat the New York Giants in what is
hailed as "The Greatest Game Ever Played."
In 1959 the Baltimore Colts finished the NFL's 40th season with a record of 9 wins
and 3 losses and finished first in the Western Conference, and defeated
the New York Giants, 31–16 in the NFL Championship Game, which was the
rematch of the previous season's classic title game, for their second
consecutive NFL World Championship. Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas had
one of the great seasons by a passer in NFL history. Says Cold Hard
Football Facts, "Unitas's 32 scoring strikes was an NFL record –- he was
the first and only to top 30 touchdowns in the NFL's first 40 years –-
and remains the standard for a 12-game season. He was in the midst of
his record 47-game streak with a touchdown pass, and connected on at
least one in every game of 1959."
