Along with Morgan, Strong, and Danowski, the little tailor had saved the day and brought New York its first National Football League playoff championship.

message: I made a few edits, but very little had to be done.  This is an exceptional piece of work, easily a good article.  Might need a strong copyedit due to the sheer quantity of text.
