Background: The 1960 NFL Championship Game, played on Monday, December 26, at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, stands as a landmark clash in football history. The Philadelphia Eagles edged the Green Bay Packers 17–13, driven by game MVP Norm Van Brocklin's passing attack, a 58-yard kickoff return by rookie Ted Dean that set up his own game-winning 5-yard touchdown run, and one of the most famous defensive plays in league history. On the game's final play, Eagles two-way legend Chuck "Concrete Charlie" Bednarik tackled Green Bay fullback Jim Taylor at the 8-yard line and wrestled him to the ground as time expired to preserve the victory. Most notably, this defeat served as the only postseason loss of legendary head coach Vince Lombardi's career, before his Packers established a dominant dynasty winning five titles over seven seasons, while providing the Eagles with their third NFL championship—a title that stood as the franchise's last for 57 years until Super Bowl LII.
