The NFL Season is moving along and so are we.

In this episode of the NFL Historical Matchups for Week 11, we have four games that we are highlighting.

The first one may be one of the most famous and the most important games in NFL History. It may not have been a classic as for as a close game or having a fantastic finish, but Super Bowl III between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets helped create the current NFL.

It was more than the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, it added legitimacy to the upstart American Football League as the merger between the AFL and NFL was on the horizon.

The second game was the 1981 AFC Championship game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

The game played in conditions that were better suited for the Iditarod Sled dog race in Alaska, saw the Bengals advance to their first Super Bowl by winning the game known as the "Freezer Bowl".

The third game we are remembering was referenced in a Sports Illustrated article that previewed the game at the time as Super Bowl 8 1/2 .

But after it was over, the game had earned another name that has lived on to this day.

The 1974 AFC Divisional playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the Oakland Raiders is remembered as the "Sea of Hands Game".

Rounding out our games that we are looking back on is the 1966 AFL Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills were looking to win their third consecutive AFL Championship game but more importantly play in the inaugural Super Bowl. But it would be the Chiefs that would advance to the first Super Bowl in a muddy, cold day at the stadium known as the Rockpile.

Welcome back to the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast were we bring you the best of sports from back in the day.

We are heading into week 9 of the NFL regular season and this week we will look back at three games that are rematches from famous games from the NFL's glorious past.

The first game is the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons. In the 1980 divisional playoffs, the Falcons were playing Cowboys in their first ever home playoff game.

this epic game became known as the "Duel in Dixie".

the other two games were regular season games that defied both defenses and explanation as both were high scoring affairs.

The first was in 1969 as a former Canadian Football League star quarterback became a member of the exclusive "seven touchdowns in a game" club, joining the likes of George Blanda and Sid Luckman.

The second high scoring game that we are highlighting this episode took place three seasons earlier between long time rivals the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants.

Taking place at then DC Stadium, New York and Washington face off in the highest scoring game in NFL history.

That is what is on tap here on this Historically Speaking Sports Historical NFL matchup episode here on the Sports History Network.

Week 8 of the NFL season is upon us and it is time for us to revisit and relive some of the greatest and most memorable games in the history of the National Football League

Dana Auguster, the host of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast is back once again for the Historically Speaking NFL Matchups, where he is back to highlight the best of Pro football from back in the day.

In this mini-episode, we examine a few games that are on the NFL Schedule that are rematches of famous games from years past. This is our way of getting you ready for NFL action for the weekend.

Now if there is a theme for the games this weekend, it would be rivalry week and these four games could be considered rivalry games in one form or fashion.

Two of them are long standing rivalries that are part of the firmament of the History of the league. The first that were are going to talk about is the feud between the Cowboys and 49ers now everyone knows "The Catch" and the many instances in the 1990’s they met for the NFC title.

But the game that will be highlighted is a playoff game from the early 1970s that saw the Cowboys erase a 17-point deficit by a "back-up" quarterback to hand the Niners another postseason defeat.

The second is a rivalry that started in the American Football League and it was appropriate that these two teams would meet in the very last AFL Championship game before the AFL and NFL would merge in 1970.

About a week before the final AFL title game there was a NFL playoff game that started one of the great postseason rivalries that dominated the decade of the 1970’s in the NFC.

And finally, one of the oldest games that we will talk about, and it is still considered one of the biggest blow outs in NFL History.
