About DBpedia

The 1957 NFL Championship Game was the 25th annual championship game, held on December 29 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. The Detroit Lions (8–4), winners of the Western Conference, hosted the Cleveland Browns (9–2–1), 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.

dbo:abstract The 1957 NFL Championship Game was the 25th annual championship game, held on December 29 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. The Detroit Lions (8–4), winners of the Western Conference, hosted the Cleveland Browns (9–2–1), 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. It was the fourth pairing of the two teams in the championship game; they met previously in 1952, 1953, and 1954. The Browns, idle the previous week, were favored by three points, but the home underdog Lions scored two touchdowns in each quarter and won in a rout, 59–14. Until 2006, this was the last time that major professional teams from Michigan and Ohio met in a postseason game (or series) in any sport. As of 2022, this is the last NFL playoff game played in the city of Detroit other than Super Bowl XL in February 2006. The Lions' other two home playoff games since (1991 and 1993) were at the Silverdome in suburban Pontiac. This also remains as the Lions' fourth and most recent league title and most recent championship appearance (including the Super Bowl) as of the 2021 season, starting a sixty year championship drought for the Lions. (en) La finale del campionato NFL 1957 è stata la 25ª del campionato della NFL. La gara si tenne il 29 dicembre 1957 al Briggs Stadium di Detroit tra Detroit Lions e Cleveland Browns. Fu la quarta volta che Lions e Browns si incontrarono in finale. I Lions, che vinsero tre di quelle sfide, da allora non si sono più qualificati per la finale (incluso il Super Bowl); la volta che vi si avvicinarono maggiormente fu nel 1992, quando persero in finale di conference contro i Washington Redskins. I Browns avevano vinto la Eastern Conference con un record di 9–2–1 mentre i Lions avevano dovuto disputare uno spareggio contro i San Francisco 49ers la settimana precedente. (it)
