At Yankee Stadium on November 25, 1956, Harlon Hill, a Pro Bowl receiver for the Chicago Bears, made one of the most incredible catches of that era. The Giants, in first place in the Eastern Conference, were aiming to snap a seven-game Bears’ winning streak – and were in good shape, leading 17-3 entering the fourth quarter. After a 79-yard touchdown pass from receiver Bill McColl to Hill cut the Giants’ lead in half, the Bears had another shot from deep in their own territory with under two minutes left. QB Ed Brown took a snap from under center, went back, and – after an exaggerated pump fake – threw one deep down the left sideline. Inside the 10, a well-covered Hill got his left hand on the ball, which was tipped up into the air. Still running at full speed, near the goal line Hill bobbled the ball again and – while falling forward and with the defender still all over him – made a diving catch in the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown. The game ended in a 17-17 tie, but in the championship later that season, the Giants beat Chicago in a rematch, 47-7.
