1957 NFL Championship Game


Enjoy the game.


The 1957 National Football League Championship Game was the 25th
annual championship game, held on December 29 at Briggs Stadium
in Detroit, Michigan. The Detroit Lions, winners of the Western
Conference, hosted the Cleveland Browns, champions of the Eastern
Conference. Detroit had won the regular season game 20–7 three
weeks earlier on December 8, also at Briggs Stadium, but lost
quarterback Bobby Layne with a broken right ankle late in the
first half. Reserve quarterback Tobin Rote, a starter the
previous year with Green Bay, filled in for Layne and won that
game with Cleveland, the next week at Chicago, and the tiebreaker
playoff game at San Francisco.
