HSS Historical NFL Matchup Week 4

Historically Speaking Sports

In this episode we are getting you ready for Week 4 of the NFL regular season by looking back at four games that are rematches from famous games from years past to evoke good memories for some while for others, not so much.

This week we will begin with a game that a lot of people including myself, consider as the most important game in the history of the New Orleans Saints.

Not only it was significant for the team, but after certain events that happened to the city of New Orleans, it was so important for that city.

And of course against of all teams, the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaking of important games, there was another game on another Monday night, that put another southern city on the map thanks to a Heisman trophy rookie running back that still remains as a lone star legend and also introduced a very colorful era for an NFL franchise.

Finally a pair of frigid playoffs games.

One of them features a famous play call that became the bane of that city's existence now for close to 50 years.

Then another post season game, an NFC championship game that not only saw a traditional loser reach the promise land but also closed the door on one of the NFL’s most infamous stadiums.
