The past few years have been among the most challenging in NFL
history, culminating in 2020, which brought the dual impacts of
coronavirus and social justice issues. Yet a complete understanding
of where the NFL is today should begin with 1957, and the five-year
period that was the most transformative for the league. From 1957
to 1962, the NFL saw: the advent of unionization, with a landmark
Supreme Court decision; the legendary 1958 title game, the first to
go into sudden death overtime; a challenge from the American
Football League that would have important consequences for decades;
the introduction of computerization and statistical analysis; the
first steps towards globalization; and the hiring of legends Vince
Lombardi and Tom Landry, who both contributed to the league's
growing mythology. This book describes in detail the key events
that helped shape the modern NFL, and why this period was so
momentous to the league and its fans.
