Was the first ever NFL football game on tv the Colts vs Giants? |
[Edit] 
No. The first NFL game televised was on October 22, 1939 when NBC aired a game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Eagles to local audiences. The first game to be televised coast-to-coast was the 1951 NFL Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns.
The Colts vs. Giants 1958 NFL Championship game is considered to be the game that started the rise in popularity of the NFL but it was not the first game televised.
