1963 Chargers 45 - 1958 Colts 24

Both QB's were excellent, and both running attacks were extremely effective. The deciding factors really were 2 fumbles lost by the Colts, and terrible kickoff coverage by the Colts. either defense covered itself in glory - not surprising given the caliber of the offenses at play here - but the Colts normally force a ton of turnovers, both fumbles and especially interceptions. They got no turnovers at all, and therefore simply could not stop San Diego from moving up and down the field at will.
