November 20, 1960: In a play often referred to simply as The Hit, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Chuck Bednarik makes a hard-hitting tackle that knocks out New York Giants running back and fellow future Hall of Famer Frank Gifford in the Eagles' 17–10 win over the Giants. Gifford ended up missing the remainder of the 1960 NFL season and all of the 1961 NFL season as a result of the hit, while the Eagles went on to win the 1960 NFL championship. Wiki link
