Before the inception of the Super Bowl football's face-off of the
best teams to find out who is truly superior the two leagues (AFL
and NFL) would each have their own championship game. This bad
blood stuck around until the merger of the leagues in 1966. Since
beginning play in 1960, the American Football League had always
taken a backseat to the National Football League. It was considered
a secondary league; the best and most skilled players went to the
more powerful NFL, which had been around for nearly fifty years.
During the 1963 NFL season, the Chicago Bears reigned supreme,
dominating every team that crossed their path. But were they the
best team in football? If you asked the San Diego Chargers of the
AFL, that answer would be a resounding no. The Uncrowned Champs
follows the incredible season of the '63 Chargers as they
transformed their roster from a 4 10 finish in 1962 to a conquering
force that ripped through the AFL. With a week-to-week breakdown,
Dave Steidel chronicles the team's innovative, high-scoring,
juggernaut offense and top-rated defense that featured a fearsome,
foursome front line. Unfortunately for football fans, the Bears and
Chargers never met on the field that year. But thanks to new
technology, we are able to conduct a computer simulation of what
would have been the first Super Bowl game and answer the
fifty-year-old question of who was the best football team of '63.
Featuring a foreword by Chargers Hall of Fame wide receiver Lance
Alworth, The Uncrowned Champs is a terrific look into the pre Super
Bowl era, when two rival leagues fought for dominance in the
public's eye. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing
