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.

In the week six edition of the Historical Speaking Sports Historical Matchups episode we will take a look at three games that are on the docket for this weekends NFL action that are rematches of memorable games from years past.

One of them is a playoff game from the early 1990’s that featured possibly the most memorable touchdown run in this Hall of Fame running back's career and was his team's first postseason win in over 30 years.

We will also talk about another playoff game, this one from the 1970’s that saw this team, led by a popular head coach finally lead his team to a Super Bowl after several disappointing finishes.

The third game is perhaps one of the most famous regular season games ever.

To give you an idea how famous this game was, take this into account, the coach of the losing team stated afterwards, "What a nightmare, it was the worst experience of my coaching career. We’re all ashamed for our people, for our fans and for our organization."

The loss was so catastrophic for this Hall of Fame coach, he was fired the next week and never coached again.
