On this day in 1951, DuMont presented the first coast-to-coast broadcast of a National Football League championship game. The contest, which took place at Los Angeles Memorial coliseum, was between the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns.

During the game, Browns kicker Lou Groza (left) kicked an NFL championship record 52-yard field goal.

The final score? Rams 24, Browns 17. The game would remain the Rams' only NFL championship win until the team's 2000 Super Bowl XXXIV win against the Tennessee Titans.

In 1952, DuMont aired only games played by the New York Giants, but expanded to multiple-team season coverage in 1953, offering live, coast-to-coast Saturday night games. DuMont's NFL coverage ended in 1955.

The history of Forest Green Rovers is one of those that truly inspire. A football club that values ecology no less than sporting achievements. It's not for nothing that FIFA called it the “greenest” club in the world and this is a rare example when a team from the Second League has completely switched to renewable energy and solar technology. This is not just a beautiful idea, but a real standard that can inspire other clubs. It's especially interesting to watch their game, knowing that behind it there is not only football, but also principles. And for fans and those who analyze the form of teams and place bets wisely, the platform https://ggbet.co.uk/betting is an excellent tool. It combines live results, advanced analytics and convenience.
